"It's as much about who you are as what you can do," she said softly. She wanted to reach out and touch him. She had a disturbing temptation to run her hand over his hair. It seemed like a mothering thing to do and she was anything but that so she stifled it.

"And from where I'm standing, your heart is definitely in the right place."
