    The emotional arc in this book is so subtle you'll feel like you're in love yourself. It starts with the temperature of a glass of water. It starts with the number of blueberries in a breakfast. It starts with six seconds of a massage. It starts with a message saying, "The person is awake, no crime has been committed yet." The male lead remembers all of the female lead's habits, but he doesn't use them to gain her affection. The female lead sees through all of the male lead's tricks, but she's still moved even after he sees them through. Both of them are subtracting, subtracting the tricks, subtracting the tests, subtracting the defenses, and what's left is the purest bit of genuine affection. "He kept all his kindness within boundaries, she wore all her defenses on her face. Later they both forgot who crossed the line first." "She tested him eighteen times, he crossed seventeen times, and the last time she couldn't resist herself."
