"It's not a matter of who you think deserves what. As you seem to think a lot less of yourself than what other people think of you. I hope that one day you'll see yourself as other people see you." Charity whispered, a bit stubbornly. She couldn't help but a smile a bit coyly as she shook her head. "And I didn't sleep with you because I thought you'd be winning the Nobel peace prize anytime soon."
