"Shall I tell you just how much I am going to remember ?" He was silent, breathing deeply.
"Just this," she said.

"That you love me--so much--that you can't do without me, and that you were willing--to give your life--for my happiness.

That is what I am going to remember, Jeff, and it will be a very precious memory.
