Oh, look, the lights are so pretty, ” I said dreamily, having just noticedthem. I smiled at the way the lights were dancing overhead, pink and yellow andblue. I felt some pressure on my arm and thought, I should look over and seewhat’s going on, but then the thought was gone, sliding away like Jell-O off ahot car hood.“ Fang?”“ Yeah. I’m here.” I struggled to focus on him. “I’m so glad you’re here.”“ Yeah, I got that.”“ I don’t know what I’d do without you.” I peered up at him, trying to seepast the too-bright lights.“ You’d be fine, ” he muttered.“ No, ” I said, suddenly struck by how unfine I would be. “I would be totallyunfine. Totally.” It seemed very urgent that he understand this. Again I felt some tugging on my arm, and I really wondered what that wasabout. Was Ella’s mom going to start this procedure any time soon?“ It’s okay. Just relax.” He sounded stiff and nervous. “Just..relax. Don’ttry to talk.”“ I don’t want my chip anymore, ” I explained groggily, then frowned.“ Actually, I never wanted that chip.”“ Okay, ” said Fang. “We’re taking it out.”“ I just want you to hold my hand.”“ I am holding your hand.”“ Oh. I knew that.” I drifted off for a few minutes, barely aware ofanything, but feeling Fang’s hand still in mine.“ Do you have a La-Z-Boy somewhere?” I roused myself to ask, every word aneffort.“ Um, no, ” said Ella’s voice, somewhere behind my head.“ I think I would like a La-Z-Boy, ” I mused, letting my eyes drift shutagain. “Fang, don’t go anywhere.”“ I won’t. I’m here.”“ Okay. I need you here. Don’t leave me.”“ I won’t.”“ Fang, Fang, Fang, ” I murmured, overwhelmed with emotion. “I love you. Ilove you sooo much.” I tried to hold out my arms to show how much, but Icouldn’t move them.“ Oh, jeez, ” Fang said, sounding strangled. James Patterson
