If anyone sacks you, it will be him. And none of us want you to be sacked here. Least of all Becca,” Paige agreed, even though she blushed, too.“I...’s not dislike of Eddie, either. He’s a swell guy. It’s just that ... we love Becca. We have seen that life is short. We’re not ... indestructible. We don’t have a future promised to us, one to work for anymore. There is no tomorrow anymore.
