Paul's lying just where I left him. Even in the dark, I can see how van he looks.
'How's your head?'
'Better. Still pretty horrible, but better. Are you all bored out there?'
'Only boring people get bored'
He makes a pained face.'I'm sorry to flake out on you like this'
'Oh, thats right, 'I say, my voice as close to gentle as I can bring it.'You get blinding headaches, so you don't have to take me out. If I had a penny for every man, who'd tried that one...'
