"You are my loved one, Harry," said Bridgens. "The only man or woman or child left in the world who cares whether I am alive or dead, much less what I may have thought before I fell or where my bones will lie."
Peglar, still angry, felt his heart pounding inside his chest. "You're going to outlive me, John."
"Oh, at my age, and with my infirmities and proclivities toward illness, I hardly think..."
"You're going to outlive me, John," grated Peglar. He shocked himself by the intensity of his voice and Bridgens blinked and fell silent. Peglar took the older man's wrist. "Promise me you'll do one thing for me, John."
"Of course." There was none of the usual banter or irony in Bridgens' voice.
