He croaked, “Hello, Laura.”
She looked up at him with dead eyes, and she smiled.
“How did you find me?” he asked.
She was silent for a while, in the moonlight. Then she said, “You are the nearest thing I have to life. You are the only thing I have left, the only thing that isn’t bleak and flat and gray. I could be blindfolded and dropped into the deepest ocean and I would know where to find you. I could be buried a hundred miles underground and I would know where you are.”
