"The shadows of the trees lie sleepily along the street. A few cars go by, but not many. Their headlights are sharp; they cut into the night cruelly. I shiver (the air is bitter and cold, and so am I); I rub my hands up and down my arms. I think of how you sometimes look at me and forget what you're saying, and of how you sometimes turn remote, like a stranger."

He was standing outside Juicedale Mall giving out free samples of a new tissue that was suppose to be ten times softer, when Arnold knew for a fact that it was the exact same tissue as the last model but in a different wrapping."
