“She didn't say she loved him then. She said it later that night, when he was breathing deeply beside her, the sleep of peace and satiety, as he always did when they'd released each other from passion by indulging it without limit.

“Remember me a little while,
Pause in the orchard where we often walked,
When days were longer and the world was ours.
Say, "Cara, please!" one last time, and smile.
From beneath the apple tree,
Glance up to where I once looked down at you.
Wear, just once more,
The look that said I was your love,
And you were mine until my end.
I knew it all the while.
Miss me, but not for long.
I was your joy,
Don't let me be your woe,
So remember me, and smile.
Then let me go.”
― Lucy Gordon, Farelli's Wife
