CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

i PER et thing that Sally did, SE in the process of trying to forget the Sally that Dan had not wanted, was to destroy the letter that she had kept locked so long in her jewel case. She told herself

Like my heart, Sally thought, watching them—and leaned down swiftly to gather them into the palm * of her hand, to let a tear fall on them. The last tear, she resolved fiercely, that she ever would shed over Dan Reynolds. If only she could have turned her love to ashes as simply as this, tossing it back into the flames again!
