“She might be all right, Freddy said. But she sure is dead.”
“She thinks my name is Freddie, you know, but of course it ain't. Ialways tell these people some name like that, because if they got ontoyour right name they might use it sometime. Understand?”
“Are you sure that's Val?""No," said Freddie. "It's Lassie in a wolf suit.”
“She said memories mean all, but they are all dead.”
“Right," she said, "We're going to the Land of the Dead and I shouldn't think negative.”
“She wasnt exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.”
