"He wasn't there,of course.He was three thousand miles away.She was dead to him. Hadn't he told her a hundred times that the only way she would be free of him was death? Furious with herself for going back,even for a moment in her mind,she tried to calm herself.She breathes in slowly.Salt air,water.Freedom."
