    “As I stood with her on the platform - she impatient, tapping her foot, leaning forward to look down the tracks - it seemed more than I could bear to see her go. Francis was around the corner, buying her a book to read on the train.
    'I don't want you to leave,' I said.
    'I don't want to, either.'
    'Then don't.'
    'I have to.'

    Camilla, I love you,' I said. 'Let's get married.”
