”I don’t know why I thought that mighta fixed it.”

She let out a quiet sigh. ”You should go after that guy, by the way. He ran out all sad and shit.”
”Could I borrow two tickets real quick?”
”Sure!” she said, sliding a couple over from the big spool I had given her earlier. ”It’s not like they’re worth anything.”
