“My best isn’t good here,” Pepe said. “We’re all going to die. I’m not ready. Angelina will get sold at auction for scrap metal. I have children and cats. What will become of them?” “You’re married?” Gabriela asked. “No,” Pepe said. “I just have children and cats.”

“Remember last night when you asked if this was worth risking lives?” “Yes.” “Can I revise my response?” “No.” “It might have been the beer talking,” Rafer said. “Too late.”

“I’m going to bed and I’m not getting up until Christmas,” Gabriela said to Rafer. “You’ll miss Thanksgiving, which is flat out the best holiday. You don’t have to give anyone a present and there’s gravy and pie. You’ve always been a sucker for gravy.”
