And you slept quite a long time. And now you're awake and bathed and fed. You still look terrible. But you no longer smell. It's late afternoon now. Are there any other obvious facts you'd like to review?"
"We were both smiling, in that bittersweet way one does when imagining something the heart longs for and the head would dread."
"There was a danger in asking too much of a child, but the danger of asking too little was almost equal."
