   Summary

   Camilla did not visit Francis during his second hospitalization. I contemplated long after I got the letter, hoping in the back of my mind that if I considered it long enough he would be out of the hospital before I was forced to make up my mind. I sat on the offer, the plea, of the letter he had sent me, hating myself for wasting away instead of moving on it.

   And then I dreamt of Henry.
