What'd'you want me to say, Gunny? [ He looks down into his bottle. ]
She's probably dead. They're both probably dead. I ain't gonna claim it was like - a great romantic movie, or anything, but I did love her. [ He didn't sound as sure as he should have, mostly because he couldn't get his sister's voice out of his head. He didn't even really realise that he put it in the past tense. ]
An' it made sense. My folks were damn happy. When it was workin', anyway.
[ His face fell. ]
Just glad my dad never got to see when it - least he didn't have to see that.
