lizzie stayed with her back turned to the guy behind her , eyes closed , taking in a deep breath and holding it while counting to ten . her previously flexed fingers curled rhythmically into fists as she lifted her chin , slowly turning to face him . “ you know what ? ” her lips are pulled into a delicate smile , people here didn’t know her . or at least not everyone knew her . this was the fresh start elizabeth saltzman needed . “ it’s fine . i don’t care . in fact , i’m glad you had that doughnut . ” she closes the space between them , placing a tender hand on his shoulder . “ and if you want another ? tell me . and i will find it for you , because i , ” lizzie places her hand at the center of her chest now , eyes leaking empathy , “ am a good person . ”
