Excerpt

Hey. Can I tell you something? Sure, anything you like. It's kind of long. I got plenty of time. I knew these people ... What people? These two people. They were in love with each other. The girl was ... very young, about seventeen or eighteen, I guess. And the guy was ... quite a bit older. He was kind of ragged in, wild. She was very beautiful, you know. Yeah. And together they turned everything into a kind of an adventure, and she liked that. Just an ordinary trip down the grocery store was ... full of adventure. They were always laughing at stupid things. He liked to make her laugh. And ... they didn't much care for anything else, Because all they wanted to do was be with each other. They were always together. Sounds like they were very happy. Yes, they were. They were real happy. And he, he loved her more than he ever felt possible.
