Murakami Looked Quote by Barry Eisler
““The waitress came and put the drinks on the table. Murakami drained his in a single draught. Yukiko followed suit. “Ii yo,” Murakami growled. Good. Yukiko set her glass down with practiced delicacy. Murakami looked at her. She returned the look, something almost theatrically nonchalant in her expression. The look went on for a long moment. Then he grinned and grabbed her hand.””
