A brief question on a similarity between SK's "The Raft" and "The Reach"

.In The Raft, when gazing into the "oily matter" in the water, "Poncho" hears
the hypnotic question "Do you love?". In The Reach, Stella Flanders also often
hears the same phrase. Is there some connection that I'm not aware of?
Any thoughts?

I think 'Nona' but am not sure.

I remember that phrase occurring several times in "Nona", in Skeleton
Crew.

Not as far as I understand.
That phrase is one that King just likes to use, maybe to bring us
Constant Readers some pondering ;-)
I have a vague idea of a third story where I've seen it, but can't
remember which one and my collection is mostly gone ...
(Somehow, the Bachman Books jumps to mind -- Rage? No, that was the
other shocking quote about dear God, IIRC ...)
King uses the question Do you love? right throughout Skeleton Crew, even
sticking it on its own page between the dedication and the contents page.
It features heavily in Nona, for example - not in previous versions of the
story - only in the one in Skeleton Crew.
