"We go over hills, too."
"Hillocks."
"No, really, the sum is greater-"
"Stop it. Enough."
"The sum is greater than the whole of its parts," she finishes quickly and sits, quiet, for a few minutes. "I'm hungry."
"That's because something is eating you. What have you done now that it all pours right back out of you? What do you have that isn't yours, that you can;t keep?"
She doesn't answer, just gets up and goes to the lavoratory and locks the door.
"I know you're hiding something. I know you're not telling me the truth. It'll eat you and it'll keep eating you until you come clean. Lies are a tapeworm." He hears her vomit and flush.
