It carried a crisp sense of hope . Sawyer slowly let his smile fade . " I'll follow your lead . Just tell me what you want , and I'll handle it . " He would follow her lead ...

For a moment , her resentment toward Connor softened . At least he had done one thing right - he had brought her and Sawyer together .
