there 's a dress bag from fred 's on the bed with a note pinned to the plastic . `` she knows we 're in town and she wants to stop by . `` she could n't stand me , and i could n't stand her . my things can be sent on later . i smile and stare at the miles of water . jake then raced back to her , kissed her soundly and tried to lift her into his arms . they just had to be prepared for what would come .
