The gravediggers were finished now. Julianna could see them hurrying to get out of the miserably wet weather. It would be summer soon.
She was still holding Edmund's hand, and she brought it to her mouth to kiss his knuckles. Then she released it, letting him put it back on the wheel. They would get a room at the Holiday Inn. They would order room service and some alcohol. They would not talk, at least not much. He would comfort her body, because God knew he couldn't comfort her spirit.
"I'm glad you're here. You're the only one who can remotely understand."
