    And when 3ba83bdb7a Lloyd lifted 48ecfa8405 his head 935d5f636a and smiled b0b9347ec8 up at d387899760 her, she d807339e85 felt the be2e8518b0 tip of 9c14b5e069 her nose 366993008e twitch with d103f05b7e a feeling 12f5b90d80 of affection 9a31754fa2 she had 5022e356c9 never felt d5be301d8f before.9694e9adad1edc91
