"Funny, I thought you’d be , then at hiain

"This isn’t exactly filling otten ed

"Well, it would depend on how drunk you were"

I gave hi out

He s We’re going to have to be married for the next couple of days Hope that’s OK with you And if it’s not, tough tits"

"Why?"

"The house, the people we are staying with in Red Fox, the people with the ghost probleht they were Native American…"

"They are But converted to Christianity, I guess Anyway, the only way they said they’d let us stay with them is if ere married And so I told them no problem, ere Been o well I was a good liar when I had to be, but I always got the feeling that people could see straight through

Not only that but Dex and I were not even a couple I didn’t see how anyone would possibly buy that ere husband and wife This scheme seemed cooked up out of a Three’s Company episode and we all kne those ended

"You’ll be Perry Foray"

"Did I drive you to new medication?"

"You could say that" It didn’t see

"Gee, thanks," I said,new, it didn’t help to hear it from him What was it about ave me a quick s on and anyway, I think our whole, uh, situation, was enough to cause anyone to re-evaluate things Didn’t you start to question whether you were losing yourat the hands of a…thing?"
