A lot of people had started to tell him what she just told him, but never quite so directly. So obviously pointed his way. Mostly because he never gave them a chance -- because hell, he's punishing himself too, isn't he?

"Okay," he says after a moment, pronouncing it 'okei' the way he does sometimes. Okay, he thinks he understands. There's a moment of silence, and then, bluntly, suddenly-

"Do you want to hear the whole story?"
