she snuggled her hand Inside his. Both were stepped in memories of that other crossing. But Sonia felt no fear. The shock of Maxine’s death had been obliterated. She was herself again. They spoke little, each apparently absorbed. When they had feft the boat and were on the Corte Madera grade, Franklin said, “It was here.” Sonia shivered. The darkness pressed about the little car, shutting them in. Then he asked, “You know where wo are going?” “Yea.” “Do you care, Sonia?” She was caught in the swirl of a tromndoui, current. She knew It was useless to resist. She was moved by an overpowering Impulse. The moment was greater than either of them. She answered, coolly, “should I care?” “Well. I decided to take no chan of a on asking you. You’d probably have said ‘no.’ ” Sonia laughed softly. “You needn’t have been afraid. I’m through with evasions.” “Do you mean that, Sonia?” Her answer Hashed like a flame across the night. They wars climbing a hill, curve upon curve, scattered lights twinkling from sooty darkness. The car stopped before the blurred outline of a building, and Franklin was at her side. He lifted trembling, impatient arms. “Jump, darling.” Her breath came In short, excited gasps. She cried, gayly, “So this is the shack?” “Bo careful. It’s blacker than the devil. Hang on to me. I’ll turn on the light in a moment.” They stumbled over a doorway. There was the flare of a match, then light fram a dangling electric bulb. Sonia looked about curiously. Dust lay on the tables and chairs but everything was in order. Franklin knelt before the fireplace to light the fire. They watched in silence aa the tiny flaroo licked at the giant log. Sonia was determined to show no caution. He had planned for weeks to bring her ’hera. She had no intention of spoiling hla triumph. Tomorrow she was going back to Stockton, but tonight was to'Ught, big with uncertainty! She ran to the cupbohrd and pulled out pans. The fragrant aroma of coffee began to fill the room. There was the sound of bacon sizzling. “This reminds me of our day at Pirate s Cove,” smiled Sonia. “I don’t know why- It’s oold and dark tonight and that day was warm and sunshiny.” “It’s the general atmosphere ” “That different too. Wo had the world at our feet than. Now wove been through Hell-.....” “Even so,” insisted Sonia. “Ah right, darling. Have it your way.” They ate with bantering which

softened into thoughtfulness. When the dishes were washed, Franklin turned off the light and they sat on cushions before the lire. Conversation seemed stilted beside the crackling of the logs. “Didn’t take that one long to burn." -.“No, not once It was started ” She became restless under the steadiness of his gaze. “What are you thinking abort?" “It will be time to go soon.” Silence and the soft shifting of charred wood. Sonia said, quietly, "You haven’t kissed me since I came.” “I didn't want you to think that was my reason for bringing you.” 'What was your reason?" His eyes did not waver. “I’ve dreamed of it, Sonia. So long! Couldn't let you go without corking. It will give us something to remember ” Suddenly she could not meet the longing in his eyes. His voice was husky, pleading, behind the oommonplaoe words. "Not much of a place, but you owed It to both of us to see it.” "After the lie I told today?” “That has nothing to do with it.” “Yes It does.” she sighed. It was lonely outside tho circle of hla arms. She felt forlorn, deserted. She said, flatly, “Well, anyway, I’m glad you brought mo . . .” Minutes flying, wasted without kisses. Tomorrow she would be gone. She knew he was waiting for her to touch him. Unless she came to him ho would take her back to San .Francisco. Ho was Intent on proving tho sincerity of his devotion as a reward for tho sacrifice she had made. But his mouth was wistful, pleading without words. The log was a mass of glowing coals. The darkness was black magic. The tiny warning voices had all ceased. Hhe moved closer and put her hand against his arm. He swept her to him, crying. ‘T swore I wouldn’t touch you first.” “I know. Did you think I couldn’t understand?” “But you want me to. don’t you? You want me to love you?” As their lips met she knew the fight was finished. She had lost, but defeat was glorious!
