Elizabeth Hoyt Quote
The corners of her mouth drooped and he felt an odd panicked twinge somewhere in that empty space where a heart might dwell in other people.The trouble, Eve said, is that I've never been able to tell when you're lying to me and when you're not. It wouldn't matter, I suppose, but that you don't if you lie to me or not. And I do. I used to not. Or maybe I used to tell myself I didn't care. But Val, she said softly, looking at him with his own eyes, now I do.She turned and, taking Makepeace's arm, very quietly left the room with her fiancé.And it was a very good thing, Val thought, that he hadn't a heart.Because it might've broken then.
