Slowly, he lifted his hand and touched a damp strand of her hair that had strayed over her forehead. His voice had a husky texture, deep with sincerity. His eyes were fixed on hers, seeming to try to probe into the very depths of her mind. "I would say that you're about to make a big mistake, one neither of us can afford.
