"So?" She narrowed her eyes at him and smiled humorlessly, lifting her hands out of the water and spreading her arms. "Still like what you see? I wasn't anything special even before they took me apart and stitched me back together with pieces missing, but I can still do a mean sword kata."
One dark eyebrow arched. "And I still rather like you." |
