i sat down next to amy and grabbed her by the hand . i made sure the door was closed before i laughed , knowing that he could not hear me . you 're just as bad as my father was . i bit down hard to keep from making a sound . `` is there a sacred torch or something ? '' but when all is said and done , this story is for a pastime i will always love and be grateful for . they are obviously friends and spend a lot of time together and respect each other .
