"Jesus, I'm telling you, man, it meant a lot to me! Freakin' everything!"

Doug frowns, bitterer than the usual firm set of his mouth. "But that's not...that's not what it was."

Only one thing. Only one way. Only pragmatism, and a point to it, so he could rationalize it away.

He wouldn't forget that it had happened, though. Harriers stow a lot of things, but not this. Doug's not that kind of guy.

The way Frye feels about Doug, he'd never want to throttle him, but this moment gets awful close. "Two can play at the game, Doug. And you don't even want to."

Save me the effort, would you? Too freakin' far gone.
