He looked across at Lirah and Arjuro and Rafuel, and then back to Gargarin who was smiling himself, because he knew the answer to his own question.

“Why are you starting there?" Roe asked as he followed the young man curiously.
Confused, Jesse looked down at the ground and then at the mule before he shrugged. "This is where I always start," he said. "This is where Pa showed me to start."
Roe shook his head. "Well, that doesn't make sense, Jesse. You should start at the edge and go to the edge."
Jesse gazed at one edge of the field and then at the other. His brow furrowed in concentration. "That ain't right," he said.
"Of course it's right," Roe told him, smiling. "It makes perfect sense. Starting in the middle doesn't make any sense at all."
Jesse bit his lip nervously as again he surveyed the field. "We got to start right here, Roe. I know we do."
Roe sighed and shook his head. "Now, Jesse, you just told me yourself that I was smarter than folks around here. And I told you that a smart man can make light work of his labors. You do believe that, don't you?"
Jesse nodded solemnly.
"Then you've got to trust me when I tell you that the place to begin is at the beginning, not in the middle."
To Roe's horror, tears welled up in Jesse's bright blue eyes. "We got to start right here," he insisted. "This is where Pa taught me to start and it's the way I know."
Alarmed at the young man's emotion, Roe voluntarily touched his shoulder in an uncertain attempt to comfort him. "It's all right, Jesse. Don't cry," he said.
"I ain't crying," the young man insisted through his tears. "I'm too big to cry.”

“Why are you uncomfortable with the supernaturalist worldview of the biblical writers? Evangelicals don't want to just say, "Well, the inspired writers were wrong about some of their beliefs about the spiritual world and its inhabitants."

I understand that impulse, but it's not honest.”

“Yes,” she moped, wiping the tears from her eyes, “the sun came out, and now—“ she heaved, “—and now, it’s hot! I don’t like it when it’s hot. Being hot is dumb!”
I immediately absolved her of all previous sins. I slumped over the sill and gave her as much sympathy as my now warm face allowed. “Yes, child, being hot is very dumb indeed. Very well, you have a reason for crying. But then why are you outside?”
“Because it was too hot inside and mommy won’t let me have ice cream.”
“Well, there is your problem. You must get an air conditioner and a new mother.”

“Why are you walking like that?” he clipped at me and I immediately straightened, sharing a look with Sin.

“He likes it,” Sin answered, smooth as fucking butter and I chewed the inside of my cheek to bite back my irritation.
