when i 'm not sharing it with a dying girl ... ken reminded brant a lot of the grandfather who had raised them after their parents died . he came forward , roughly grabbed her elbow , and dragged her out the door . it was the very last period of the school day , and both of them had it free . my partner came and sat next to me on my rock , blocking out my sunlight . but at least i 'd saved my grandma , at least i 'd gotten that much right .
