His gaze softened, desire in his grimace as he looked at Speedy's face and saw the look on her face that showed she wanted it to be true. I'm sorry -- I shouldn't have said that. Charon shook his head and looked at Speedy with an apologetic look on his face, though there was still longing in his expression.
