He just looked at me, at my head, into my eyes. I was already prepared for him to stand up and leave. But suddenly he spoke.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2655\" data-end=\"3035\">\u2014 You know\u2026 \u2014 he said softly but firmly. \u2014 When we first started talking, I didn\u2019t even know what you looked like. I didn\u2019t care \u2013 whether you were fat or thin, tall or short. That never mattered to me. I liked talking to you. You\u2019re smart, easy to be with, you know how to listen and keep a conversation going.
