S8: Stone or If He Couldn't Be A....

From R8:
Danny knocked the table into her as he jumped up and ran away.

******

And he quit his job, electing to wait tables at the Cheesecake Factory across the mall.

He wasn't stone. He wasn't hard and impassive, and he couldn't take the story Miriam wanted to tell. So he walked through the bookstore, grabbed his bag and his coat, and walked back out the door. In the parking lot, flecks of snow hit his lashes but failed to reach the ground.

The Cheesecake Factory would be safe, he figured. Miriam, he knew, despised the place.
