Well, I won't pretend it's been fun, the man says to me, and turns to go.
Get out!
The blond woman puts up her hand. She moves slowly toward me. No,
Jennifer. Put that down. Please put that down. Now, really, did you have to do that?
What has happened. There has been an accident. The phone lies in the
hallway amid shattered glass. Cold air sweeps past me, the curtains blow
wildly. Outside, a car door slams, an engine starts. I feel alive, vindicated,
ready for anything. There's so much more where this came from. Oh yes,
much much more.
