New York 18 86 you to stay on here if she wants to buy the house. That is, if ypu still want — " "Anna left this morning. I made her go on to New York without me." That was my answer and he knew it. This time I looked at him, trying to make my face hard and indifferent, because I had made a decision and was telling him so. "Poor little face — " gently he touched my cheeks reddened with crying — "poor little Gail. Are you sure that's what you want? Because I won't be coming back. I won't try competing with a house, with an illusion; I wouldn't want to share you." "I thought I could make you understand— " tears werfe :'^ my eyes and I could hardly see his face. It wasn't as handsome as I had thought last night, but it was somehow all the more wonderful to me. A little scar over his eyes I hadn't seen — the way his eyebrows grew too thick for symmetry — the Indian-brown of his face and the straight slash of his jaw — somehow all these resolved my love into reality. This was Don and not the Romantic Stranger. And then he was gone. But before he left he stooped and kissed me lightly, tenderly — the feel of his lips mingling with the sweet, ripe taste of the strawberries I had eaten and smeared on my mouth. LAST night when I had left Don everything that had happened that evening seemed fantastic. I was too bewildered— too miserable and confused — ^to think. And in the morning I could only remember two things: that a man had kissed me and made me love him, but he had also promised I could stay on at the Sissely house. There was no way of bringing the two memories together. I could not have one, unless I gave up the other. And the new emotion could not supplant the old. I couldn't leave this place. But now I had seen Don again, in the full force of daylight, and my feeling for him had crystallized into reality. If only he had made my decision for me! If only he had taken me with him by force, because I felt that was the only way I could leave here. I had no inner strength to cut myself loose — my only strength came from my attachment to this land and this house and my dreams and my life here with Dad. I tried hard and honestly to visualize myself in Anna's apartment. There was a pot of ivy on her low modernistic bookcase and that would be the only growing thing I would see from the time I woke up in the morning until I came back to the apartment at night, except for a peep in a florist's window. Or Central Park on Sundays. There would be no springy turf to walk over in comfortable sandals — there would be only hard pavements and me clicking over them in the tightest of high-heeled slippers. Don would come calling for me — but there my imagination stopped short. I could not see Don and me in any other setting than this. I could not believe that we would recapture the rapture of the feeling we had known last night. Going to movies, seeing synthetic love on the screen, looking at apartments for when we would be married — apartments that would be replicas of my sister's. As always, when I thought of her three tiny rooms I had the feeling of suffocation. I had spent weekends with her and I remembered well that feeling While They Last!
