Alice: That afternoon you and I made love and talked about our
future, and our child. Later we were sitting on the balcony and he passed
below us without looking up. Just the sight of him stirred me deeply and
I thought if he wanted me, I could not have resisted. I thought I was
ready to give up you, the child, my whole future. And yet at the same
time - if you can understand it--you were dearer to me than ever, and
I stroked your forehead and kissed your hair, and at that moment my love
for you was both tender and sad. At dinner I wore a white rose and you
said I was very beautiful. It might not have been just an accident that
he and his friends sat near us. He didn't look up but I actually considered
getting up, walking over to him like someone in a movie, saying, "Here
I am, my love, for whom I have waited--take me."
Well, it was about then that the waiter brought him the envelope. He read
it, turned pale, said goodbye to his friends - and glancing at me
mysteriously, he left the room.
I barely slept that night and woke up the next morning very agitated.
I didn't know whether I was afraid he had left or that he might still
be there......but by dinner I realized he was gone and I breathed a sigh
of relief.
