"Johnny's been spending time with G - the Shuck?" I say in low horror. "Oh, Tess." I bite my lip. "Maybe Glass can give him a bell jar," I say. "I know - you two don't get along, but she knows what it's like to be bothered by the Shuck, too."
Tess carries on talking about Glass and I feel a sharp pang when she says I doubt she's like t'come see you soon, because I know it's true.
"I know," I sigh. "I will. Tomorrow, maybe. We have a lot to straighten out."
Tess kisses me then, and it's much easier to kiss her back than to let myself dwell on these things, much easier to let my mouth part under hers and keep my arm round her waist, feeling my heart hammer in a way I've learned is pleasant.
