"Get up." Montag heard a whisper, smelled a faint perfume. "Come on, Montag, you can do it, get on up." Montag felt like lead, coated in dust and abandoned.

His vision started to blur, and he felt as if any second now his head would split in two, and snap! That would be the end of Montag."Easy there, here, take my hand." He reached out blindly and felt a petite hand, soft and slender, and pulled himself up eagerly, ready to see his savior, to see if it was who he thought, to see Clarisse McClellan once more.
