The Disestablishment of Paradise
“Both were left with their thoughts.
Mack retired early to the SAS. Hera went for a walk in the woods.
I saw it then. Alone under the trees. I had let myself be so besotted by the Dendron. I had not seen what was there before me. I had taken Mack for granted. I don’t think I had even thanked him properly for all that he did. And of course he never told me. Well how could he? That I had kissed him when I was swept away by the Dendron’s . . . whatever.
