“Ted could see her forming a mental image in her head. Welcome to my world, he thought.
“Dear God,” she finally said, “I hope you catch this guy.”
“We’re trying.”

Ted, who was on the phone talking to the tel...ephone company, had to put a finger in his free ear to hear the guy on the other end. But the conversation was soon exhausted so he said bye and hung up.
