Murphy’s face…just crumpled. Her eyes overflowed and she bowed her head. Her body shook in silence. Mort chewed on his lip for a moment, then glanced at the cops on the scene. He didn’t say anything else to Murphy or try to touch her—but he did put himself between her and everyone else, so that no one would see her crying. Damn. I wished I’d been bright enough to see what kind of guy Morty was while I was still alive.
