I save me a curious look, "Why?"

I wrapped my arms around his neck, "You love my kids That’s like some kind of aphrodisiac"

Coop’s eyes cooled off, "In Hae’re partners I don’t even want to think about S right now, but I’ll tell you… there will be no persuading Not unless I’m allowed to persuade him with pliers" He turned and walked toward the lineup for customs

Jack leaned into ine His version of the story at the brothel isn’t exactly how it happened"
