I re-introduced grain into my diet so I could go to a cafe and drink wheat grass tea and maybe meet some women, and it was there that I bumped into Ginnie Foot who was Eric Foot's sister and Kiki's former fiancee.  Ginnie was still grieving for Kiki and I could understand that considering I'd never heard him be mean or sarcastic, not once in my life and I'd known him since we were two.  Slowly I added items to my diet and convinced Ginnie to move in with me.  Her face was sad and lean, the kind of face that only a few months ago I longed to have.  Ginnie told me stories of life in a boarding school back east, stories that were more than ten years old, and she had a tattoo on her neck in the shape of a cross.  I thought: this is a girl I could marry.
