”Am I.. am I only a picture on a mantle-piece for her?” Gwen asked, her voice faltering, seeking the strong assurance of her husbands that held her close.
”No..” He whispered softly into her hair. ”She knows how fair you were and how your smile lit up an entire room. How you looked when you had orange blossoms in your hair. How your hair swriled in the breeze on a hot summers day and how your laughter brought it out in others. And how you cried, unwilling to leave even temporarily..and never returned...”
Gwen welled up and hugged him fiercely.
”Oh, Nicky, chérie.. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.. Mon amour, ma coeur... Je ne te quitte jamais, jamais..”.
