“Preston?' she said. Her voice sounded strange: small, wondering. Almost hopeful. He glanced up. 'Yes?' 'Thank you.' 'For what?' 'For caring whether or not I die of sepsis,' she said. 'Oh,' he said. 'Well, you can never be too cautious. People have died in much more banal ways.' 'Thank you for giving me the chance to die of something interesting, then.' 'As long as you don't throw yourself out of any more moving cars.' There was a slight quiver on the left side of his mouth, as if he were trying not to smile. Behind his glasses, his eyes were solemn. 'There are far more interesting deaths out there.”
