Summary
“Yes, George had been her best friend. But John Pruitt was always the man whom Mildred recalled with romantic love, passion, with the agonizing yearning that came with having a soulmate it was forbidden to touch. George had viewed her nude body, as had John, but it was only John who had seen straight into her naked soul in ways that George had never been privy to.
Though only Mildred Gunning had ever seen John’s beautiful unclothed body. His own soul stripped bare, fervent and frangible before her.”
Alternatively: What if Mildred and John had more time to reflect on their lives together before the events of the Easter vigil?
