i dont suppose you have anything to eat ? colt pulled her onto his lap . i did n't know what to do , i was numb . he wanted to be here to help me so he pretended to go home at his usual time , and then drove a friend 's car back to the office building . jack left the office and set out to find a cheap room for the night . at the top of the paper , i wrote pickles in large print . last night you did n't seem too taken with her attention .
