She should have been dead; my car missed her by inches. I rounded a corner and she stood there in the middle of the road. My angry words gave way to concern as she ran up to the car window.

I was controlling myself to the best of my ability, as I was to be the closer. And I had to remain hard until then. Marian was astride me.
