And though there are a great many fragile objects contained within it, nothing breaks.

"The only thing between your head and my foot becoming real close and personal right now is my questionable professionalism.

Were you trying to hit me?' 'I didn't hit you--twice, you scum. You didn't even notice the first time.' She sounded very irritated with him. For some reason it made him want to smile.
