“TELL ME—WHA T IS YOUR greatest fear? There was a long silence. No sounds but the low hum of the pool filter, the faraway grazing of a lawn mower, and the determined clip clip of a gardener on the other side of some tall azalea bushes, trimming away. “That someone will see,” Babe whispered, while at the same time, Truman murmured, “That someone will find me out." “That no one will love me,” Truman added after another moment. While at the same time, Babe admitted, “And that I’ll never be loved, truly.”
