- And right then it came over me that I hadn't walked out on anything at all. That the hook was too strong, that this wasn't the end between her and me. It was only the beginning.

- Hello. You forgot your hat this afternoon. Don't you want me to bring it in?

- Sure. Put it on the chair.

- How'd you know where I live?

- It's in the phone book.
