Laurell K. Hamilton Quote

I didn’t know what to say to that. I just stared at him. He was right, of course he was right, but… I can’t do my job like this. No, he said, you can’t. Then suddenly I felt the first tear slide down my face. No crying, he said. Another tear joined the first. I fought not to wipe at them. His hand dropped to his side and he took a deep breath. That’s not fair. Don’t cry. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to, but you’re right, I think. I’m pregnant, damn it, not crippled.
