“I'm thinking about babies. Emma's baby. Jack and my baby. Growing in my mind, if not in my womb.”

“I'm not sure if my dream is a dream, or a nightmare.”

“I tell him about ... Jack and Annabel, smart and ready and I'm wondering where all that smart comes from and I figure some from parents, some from school, and some from a place inside you.”

“Jack reads too many books. He thinks we're going to drive all year and have great adventures.”

“Pretty girls kissed me on victory day, their lips soft red petals brushing my face.”

“My father said to remember your enemies as well as your friends, and don't trust either of them.”

“and I'm thinking as our bodies meet that I'll remember this forever, and i just hope it's for all the right reasons.”
