There's a “Save Darfur” ad on TV.
Her banter trickles to a stop.
“It's OK, Puppy,” he says, stroking her hair. “President Bush will save them.”
She turns to him, her eyes magnified by tears, “Really?”
Not that she’s ever had faith in this President--but she always has faith in him.
His laugh is embarrassed now, but it still burns.
