Vanessa would rather drag herself through a field full of pins pricking away at her soul than sit through another ride with Alex.
She'd rather take up an athletic profession and walk around the city in search of Buddy's owner than embark on a quest with him — one which she feared was going to end up with her reining in the murderous desire of making a bloody work of his head.
