““He was dead before. He knew it, didn't you see it in his eyes? My jacket." "Your jacket ?" I say, with enough force that my shaky voice makes Corr start. "How about 'my jacket, please .' " Sean Kendrick looks at me, perplexed, and I can see he hasn't a clue of why I'm upset with him. Why I'm upset at all. I can't stop shaking, as if I've taken all of Corr's trembling and made it my own. "That's what I said," he says after a pause. "No, it's not ." "What did I say?" "You said my jacket ." Sean looks a little bewildered now. "That's what I said I said.””
