              It was times like this that two instincts collided, competed with each other; the part of him that had been on the job as long as he had wanted to abide by the rules and regulations, wanted to remind her of the importance of all of the parts of the job; the other part of him, the part of him that saw her as the daughter he never had wanted to empathize and ... in this instance at least, it was the latter that won out.  “It’s all right,” he said, with a loose shrug, a hand reaching out to collect the sheaf of paperwork from her.  “I’ve got another hour to kill, I’ll take care of it --”  A pause and a pointed glance.  “If you promise me you’re going to go home and actually rest.”
