Friday, October 24th
 (dictated 7:21 pm, Oct 29) 

     “So early...” Beth said and       
clicked the light on. She blinked her  
eyes and smiled. “What’s up, butter    
cup?”                                  
     We were still sleeping in the     
tent, and her hair was all over the    
place, but that smile. OH, MY FUCKING  
GOD!! I couldn’t stop staring at her.  
After looking stupid for a few seconds,
I rewound to when the lights went on.  
     “Is that the best you can do,     
butter cup?”                           
     “What? You don’t like it?” she    
said and grabbed her bathrobe. “Not    
that I care, but if you wait a minute, 
I’ll make us some coffee, and we can   
debate... What? What the hell’s wrong  
now?” she said, and then tried to      
straighten her hair, like that was the 
problem.                               
     Everything about her was the      
problem.                               
     “Sorry, babe. You just... I was   
just thinking of that song again.”     
     “What song?”                      
     “Why do you always ask that? It’s 
not like I’m gonna give you a different
answer. It’s that same one, with that  
same girl. The one that doesn’t know   
she’s beautiful.”                      
     “I like that song too,” she said. 
     I could see another smile coming, 
and I had to get the hell out of there 
before that happened.                  
     “You don’t have to get up baby    
doll. I’ll get some coffee on the way  
in,” I said, and then gave her a kiss. 
“Late night, last night?”              
     Beth fell back on the pillow.     
“Baby doll?”                           
     “Tryin’ it out. Whadya think?”    
     “I think... I think, I’m gonna go 
back to sleep,” she said, and then     
buried her head under the pillow.      
     “Barry called me about two in the 
morning. Don’t worry. It was a happy   
ending,” she said in a muffled voice.  
“I’ll tell you about it later.”        
     “Can’t wait,” I said and helped   
her to cover up. She grabbed my pillow 
and snuggled up with it.
