tells me the girl works nights for the telephone company . she thought only of her bodys swift , tight motion up the stairs , and of the flames she had to dodge , and of the people above her , waiting for their salvation . im supposed to clean up the house , but im sure they didnt realize anyone was living here . whatever has gone on in his life between then and now ... i think he 's become a good man . ' he tips his head her way and she lifts her hand in a small wave .
