i feel like she 's slipping away from my life already . in our little world , i had a lot of power . you sure you dont want just one ? we have anybody who knows something to say ? his words hung there between them , all but floating on the humidity-laden air . i think he was trying to be helpful . i took a deep breath and tried to fix an understanding smile on my face . the water from the hot shower should have made her skin slick enough to slip away .
