I won't make it to her thirteenth. Sheneeds someone to take care of her, lad."I rubbed at the back of my neck. "I can't promise her safety." No, ya ca...'t, but ya can promise me that she won't see me wither anddie here. That's all I need, laddie, and that's all I ask."For the first time since Sari and I got there, I really saw the old manthat Sheamus had become.
