4JJ^^flHHfc m. aJ w& 1LAY on the bed the last afternoon of our honeymoon, and watched Sara doing her hair. _ As long as we love each other, nothing else can ever matter, I repeated to myself — the words we had been saying over and over to each other during these two weeks since we were married, and during all those long weeks of waiting and worry and strange, happy-unhappiness, before. We'd say it, too, whenever we thought of going back to South Chester, tomorrow. It wasn't going to be the pleasantest homecoming in the world. But we wouldn't let it matter. We were married — that impossible, incredible thing was a fact — and that was all that was important. And so I lay, very content, watching Sara. I loved to look at her all the time, but especially when she was doing her hair. The way she brushed it, until it was like a shining, filmy cloud around her shoulders, then the way she caught it up and piled it on top of her head, a mass of blonde curls like a little crown. It was wonderful. Sara caught my eyes in the mirror and smiled at me. "It's our last day, darling," she said. "Are you scared?" "A little," I admitted. "I certainly hate to see Jack. Are you scared?" "Yes," she said, "but I'm not going to let myself be. We had to do it, darling." She turned and faced me, suddenly intense. "We had to, didn't we? It was the only way." It had been the only way. I lay there and thought about it . . . all the crazy, dream-like, wonderful / loved to look at Sara when she was doing her hair . . . it was like a shining, filmy cloud around her.
