‘Always?’
‘Well, ever since… Janie, I can’t remember again.’
‘All right.’
‘All right, all right, it isn’t all right!’ He straightened and looked at her. ‘I’m sorry, Janie. I didn’t mean to yell at you.’
She smiled at him. He said, ‘Where was that cave?’
‘Cave?’ she echoed.
He waved his arms up, around. ‘Sort of a cave. Half cave, half log house. In the woods. Where was it?’
‘Was I there with you?’
‘No,’ he said immediately. ‘That was before, I guess. I don’t remember.’
‘Don’t worry about it.’
