Never mind that. What's going on with you and Heath?"Annabelle pulled a little wide-eyed innocence out of her rusty bag of college acting skills." What do you mean? Business.""Don't give me that. We've been friends too long." She switched to a furrowed brow. "He's my most important client. You know how much this means to me." Molly wasn't buying it. "I've seen the way you look at him. Like he was a slot machine with triple sevens tattooed on his forehead. If you fall in love with him, I swear I'll never speak toyou again." Annabelle nearly choked. She'd known Molly would be suspicious, but she hadn't expected an outright confrontation. "Are you nuts? Setting aside the fact that he treats me like a flunky, I'd never fall for a workaholic after what I've had to go through with my family." Falling in lust, however, was an entirely different matter."

About This Quote

A calculator for a heart is a person who calculates the worth of a relationship in dollars and cents. If she loves a man, she calculates all the ways in which he can be useful to her, and then she adds up the cost to see if it's worth it. A calculator for a heart does not take into consideration how he makes her feel. He is not a man who can make her feel special, special, special.

He is an object that she uses to get what she wants. This is what you see in your friend Annabelle. She's been used by men all her life, and she's been through too much to fall in love with a man who works all the time and doesn't care about her feelings.
