i asked you to leave me so my people would heal me in our way . i 'd been drowning in the voices , and now and then a dream had come to me , a terrible yet familiar dream . and god help me but i wanted to believe him . you do n't have anything to be nervous about . now i know that is a foolish view of love . he takes my hand , the gesture light and casual . do you want me to talk to her for you ? sam drops into the seat beside me .
