““There was a woman. She was rich. She thought she wanted to marry me. It wouldn’t have worked. I’ll probably never see her again. But I remember.” “Let’s go,” she said quietly. “And let’s leave the memory in charge. I only wish I had one worth remembering.” On the way down to the Cadillac I didn’t touch her either. She drove beautifully. When a woman is a really good driver she is just about perfect.””
