She looked at herself in the faint gray light which seeped through the windows on the side away from the street, seeing her summer tan fishbelly- pallid, thinking honky dont let the sun shin on you head it make you an easy target. "Dan," she said in a trembling little-girl voice. "Dan?" But he wasn't there.
