He looked at me with gratefulness in his eyes and a smile of thankfulness. His smile gave me a lot of joy. I wanted to pursue this man and I will use any means necessary to win his heart.

"So what's the deal with you and Jacob?"

"We are neighbors."

"I know you said that but that's not what I was asking."
