“‎I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble.”

“My choices are simple. I can die like quarry in the woods or I can die here beside Gale. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble.”

“I'm so sorry," I whisper. I lean forward and kiss him.His eyelashes flutter and he looks at me through a haze of opiates. "Hey, Catnip." "Hey, Gale," I say. "Thought you'd be gone by now," He says. My choices are simple. I can die like a quarry in the woods or I can die here beside Gale. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble." "Me, too," Gale says. He just manages a smile before the drugs pull him back under.”

“Spook: No, I'm not troubled. In fact, I actually think everything is going to be all right. Finally.”

“How often do I have to tell you this," I say. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm. Not. Going. Anywhere.”

“I'm not going anywhere.”
