jack 's back was to the door , so he had no warning until he was standing aside our table . he knew it was a public building , but his parents had always taught him to knock before you walked in anywhere . what i do n't understand is how you could let someone physically hurt you more than once . i will not let him escape this time . its the exact opposite to here . dad brushed a coating of snow off his shirt . i feel him breathing against my back .
