Re: quicklog, hotel: graham & jake
[Jake didn't think Graham knew a thing about him. He didn't want to forget anything, he didn't want it wiped out because it made it smaller. It made his momma not being there less like she just couldn't be and more like it was ordinary. He didn't even dream Graham would go on wishing her back from the dead. ]
I didn't need to be told. I worked it out. [His voice was hard, and flat and he was working real hard to keep anything out of it that betrayed any bit of how he was feeling.] I'm not a little kid. I don't need to be told nothing, I went on back there, and I read in the papers and I asked around. Folks remember plenty. They remember you too.
