Re: aloud, in the car: misha/damian
[He don't move for a spell, and then he scoots some and leans 'gainst Damian's side. He's sagged some, and his head hurts, and he's real overwhelmed, and he's real tired. But there's something else he needs to see, and he ain't real sure whether to put Damian back 'fore he does it. But he reckons, standing there, that he can actually make the choice and follow through with it. It's progress some, even with the boy sagging heavy 'gainst Damian's side as the scene before them dissolves at the ending.]
