there to do so anymore. We pat ourselves on the cheek, on the arm, or rub our hands together. Perhaps you hold your hands close to your face when you talk - generally, this is a sign of insecurity. The same is true if you roll a beard or moustache with your hands or fix your hair, perhaps pushing or curling it behind an ear. Are you sitting comfortably? The way that people sit in chairs is not coincidental. If you are lounging with arms and legs dangling, it is probably a sign that you are relaxed and feeling comfortable. If you are positioned on the edge of the chair with you legs stretched before you and your feet crossed it can signal indifference. Example: in a country where rules of behaviour in court were very strict, a witness in a trial sat as described above, with his huge boots lumped on top of each other, wearing a big coat and with his arms crossed

I glanced at him, trying to read him, but although he was looking at me, his face gave nothing away. "Eva!" The sight of Cary lounging casually against a marble column in the lobby shifted everything. He was wearing jeans that showcased his mile-long legs and an oversized sweater in soft green that emphasized his eyes. He easily drew the attention of everyone in the lobby. I slowed as I approached him and the sex god passed us, moving through the revolving door and sliding fluidly into the back of the chauffeured black Bentley SUV I'd seen at the curb the evening before.
