you are a very stubborn little boy , i must say , and i ca n't sit by your bed all night , as much as i might like to ! the driver's-side door opened , and jack , taking in my manic state , started jogging toward me , eyes wide with concern . maybe it was the idea of danger hovering , maybe it was the knowledge-no matter how remote-that they could be separated at any moment . she could swing it all day and then arm-wrestle a bear . `` my husband ... '' that was for the best .
