Bookmark Notes:
"I'm fine," I said, and staggered to my feet. Just about everything hurt, everywhere.
It was a good thing Felix was there to catch me, because I swayed about like I'd had a pint of brandy, and I sort of fell into his arms. He clutched at me to keep me upright, and I couldn't do nothing but lean on him and let him take my weight.
"Shit," I mumbled. "This is fucked up. Again."
"We can go slowly," he said. "It's all right."
He sounded so calm now. His arm came round my shoulders and we stood together, pressed up close, him feeling all warm and good to lean on, and my cheeks began to burn because — fuck me sideways 'til I cry — I was getting' hard from being this close to him and I knew, just knew he had to be able to feel it. My face scalded, and then he was looking at me and I knew he could see what was going on inside me like he always can when he bothers to look. Powers! I wondered if this was how he'd felt under Klepsydra.
