How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I wasn't supposed to be looking, not for me. It wasn't my birthday, is what I thought. There's no reason I should have been out here like this, in the yard, on a limb. You were Ed Slaterton, for God's sake, I said to myself, you weren't even invited. What was wrong with me? What was I doing? (4.45)

"I don't know." (4.106-4.108)

Quote #3

"There's no way we can be sure," I said. "Not now. But, you know, I had a feeling in there." (6.14-6.15)
