"I know you have, Freckles." This time he ain't givin' up his burger. Not 'cause he's some damn cave-man with a ME EAT mentality, but for his own other reasons. Some of 'em have to do with taking a pretty simple delight in watching her get to snack on somethin' besides
(him)
papayas and mussels, and some of 'em have to do with just spendin' time alone with her, and have they really been at this place six months? If so, how come he hasn't absolutely reveled in the fact that out of all the people whatever or whoever it is that brought 'em here could have picked, it picked him and Freckles? Not her and the doc, not Hugo and the dog, not Locke and Babynapper. None of 'em. Was it so this could happen?
Damn, he don't believe in that kind of thing. Things just happen, and this was brewin' for the two of them way before they got yanked out of time and place and drop-kicked here. That ain't to say he ain't glad it happened, though. Put 'em on a scale and weigh 'em: he'd pick this place over the island any day.
Any damn day of the week.
"And I'll be sure to save some room for apple pie, sweetheart." He might need a little help digestin' it, but they'll cross that bridge when they get to it. He'll put it this way: his expectations are low, but his hopes are sky-high.
