"I don't want to know how it comes out. I only want to be there while it's going on. And, Cal - we were kind of strangers. We kept it going because we were used to it. But I didn't believe the story any more."
"How about Aron?"
"He was going to have it come out his way if he had to tear the world up by the roots."
Cal stood looking at the ground.
Abra said, "Do you believe me?"
"I'm trying to study it out."
"When you're a child you're the center of everything. Everything happens for you. Other people? They're only ghosts furnished for you to talk to. But when you grow up you take your place and you're your own size and shape. Things go out of you to others and come in from other people. It's worse, but much better too. I'm glad you told me about Aron."
