I would have hated it, but I would have. I would have...” “She's dead," Midnight interrupts him in a monotone voice and, god forgive me, but for some reason I find it the funniest thing in the world and I start laughing. “Sorry!” I immediately apologize and try to cover my mouth but the laughter just won't stop coming out.
