Excerpt from Salt: A Novel Now he tried her name once more: Sarah. Sarah. Sarah. Yes, over. He opened the refrigerator and gazed inside. It began its hot pumping labor at keeping cool. The last evident sign of Sarah's taking nourishment with him was the two pears she had brought as her Saturday morning gift - luxury fruits from a luxury fruiterer, deep yellow and green, carried in tissue across town from Madison Avenue. Well, those pears should be served at room temperature, but they were pretty good chilled, too. Gluttonous, destroying, he ate them both, hunched over the sink, his hands drenched in ripe pear juice.
