I.e., three of the items on Erica's list of "Things I Couldn't Give Gary." It was funny how they came to mind as she suffocated slowly under the weight of incorrectly shelved peanuts.
If she hadn't interfered with one of the paper's stories, making Gary rush out of the bar to prevent a clearance-induced retail squabble, maybe she wouldn't be in such dire straits. Maybe he'd be here to rescue her from legumes gone wrong.
But as the salted nuts slid into her nostrils, she realized her end was near.
