I hate the word end. [ It makes her think of a day when everything between her and Presley ends. Their partnership dissolves and one of them is dead, or both, or maybe neither and all that happened is that they grew apart (that's the worst one). It's not that she's unfamiliar with the idea, but she doesn't want it to happen. She doesn't want to think about the end because what's the point of doing anything if it all ends. ]

It's a nasty word. Makes you forget about living in the now and makes you wonder when your house of cards is going to come tumbling down. I like my cards standing up, ya know?

Can't deny I feel the same way, [ Presley says, following a moment of thought. (The thought of the hypothetical end of their partnership is one of the least appealing notions he has ever entertained.) ] But there're some good connotations to "end," too. Like, in "end of the night," y' know what I mean? You an' me, comin' home with what we've earned for the day. [ He shrugs, almost sheepish in manner. ] That kinda thing.
