'Can I ask you something personal?' he said.

I.M. Foreman nodded. 'I warn you, though. If it's anything to do with how I got this body, the details are going to be messy. You've never been a woman, have you?'

'I'm not sure I've ever even been a man. That's not what I was going to ask.'

'Go on.'

He leaned forward across the plates, and across the bottled universe that lay in the grass between them. His eyes were glinting again. Sure to be a bad sign.

'Are you still a believer?' he asked."
