Rysa Walker Quote

Before you start what? He shakes his head. Not telling. You have to come and see. There’s a mischievous light in his eyes, and in that moment he looks so very much like his eight-year-old self, waiting for my decision to hire him as a guide at the Expo. Who could say no to those big, dark puppy-dog eyes? I laugh. Okay, okay. You win. And even though I don’t want to give him false hope, I can tell from his smile that I have.
