Remember
“Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned, Only remember me, you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve, For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
—Christina Rossetti.

Sleep eluded her.
She lay in the darkness, trying to empty her head of every thought, troubling or otherwise, but this seemed to be an impossibility. Bone tired though she had been earlier, when she had stripped off her clothes and fallen into bed, she was now wideawake. All of her senses were alerted, she strained to catch any untoward sounds from outside.
At this moment, though, very little noise penetrated the walls of the plush hotel suite. It was curious, ominous, the silence outside.
That’s where I should be, she thought. Outside.
Certainly that was wher...e she belonged, where her heart and mind were.MoreLess
