i squeeze my eyes shut , wondering how my life in the city and my life here could be so different . my partner was panting , not used to the sort of physical activity that came naturally to me . after the waiter disappeared into the restaurant , ed shrugged . chris grabbed it , then jumped away as the fourth soldier 's sword came down with a clang . he opened the window , letting in a pleasant sea breeze and the sound of the surf , and we lay down to sleep . see this food on my fork ?
