Code Blue: Cafe Coronary
“All their life in this world and all their adventures
had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning
Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on
for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle
