銆��鈥淚 can鈥檛 imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal? Ugh.鈥�
銆��She laughed. 鈥淲ell, at least this makes up for missing your annoying thief 鈥�now I just have to figure outwhat I鈥檓 not seeing in Seattle.鈥�
銆��When she said the words that way 鈥�putting the two situations together in one sentence 鈥�right then itclicked. The elusive something that had been bothering me for days, the important connection that I couldn鈥檛quite put together, suddenly became clear. I stared at her, my face frozen with whatever expression wasalready in place.

銆��I wasn鈥檛 listening.
