“The librarian went back to her ledgers, and Hallie trailed off, holding back all the Shakespearean insults that flooded into her mind, froward and unable worm being the most prominent. --Hallie”

“I don't play the guitar. That would mean I wanted people to hear it. I just strum a few strings to make myself feel better. It fills my silence.”

“She stands there for a second, watching the bear go. The morning light has truly arrived, and she can see the bear clearly, smaller and smaller and then hidden by trees.
She starts to tremble. She staggers. Falls off the log, hitting the ground hard. The panic-breath is back. Her eyes well up, and for a second she can鈥檛 see anything, just her own tears. And she can鈥檛 breathe. And she鈥檚 shaking all over, jerky and painful, like Rachel was when she got too cold.
鈥淗allie!鈥� She hears her own name as if from a distance, through the roar of blood in her head. 鈥淗allie, come here. Hallie!鈥�
It鈥檚 Jonah鈥檚 voice.
There鈥檚 something else: a low, keening, gasping sound.
鈥淗allie! I can鈥檛 get over to you. You have to come to me.鈥�
It takes her a second to realize what he鈥檚 saying. And to realize that the keening, the gasping, is her. She blinks enough to see Jonah reaching out for her.
She pulls herself in that direction. Her arms feel like newborn faun legs, spindly and weak. She has no strength left. The bear took it.
Jonah鈥檚 arms go around her. He pulls her to his chest.
鈥淗ey,鈥� he says. 鈥淗ey, it鈥檚 okay. You did it. It鈥檚 gone. It鈥檚 okay.鈥�
He rocks her like a baby, holds her like she held him last night. There鈥檚 no self-consciousness left. Just arms holding and voice soothing and hearts beating, and the hysteria passes and she drops off to sleep.”
