"It's rather a wonderful feeling, belonging to a place like Martha's, isn't it?" Nurse Fitzgerald said. Her words found their echo in Ann's heart.

Watching her face intently, Paul read the uncertainty there. Roughly, he drew her into his arms. "Fran, love like ours doesn't die—you know that, don't you?" His lips found hers and she clung to him, startled to find Paul's attraction for her as strong as ever. But was it only that? She trembled suddenly, unreasonably afraid. "Yes," she finally answered, "but—" "There are no 'buts,' darling. Not anymore." The opening of the door startled them both. Dr. Frayle stood there.
