Looking smart and holding hands while walking down the street, they finally arrived to that fancy restaurant they found on the internet. They had an exquisite dinner accompanied with a few glasses of wine, something they could afford to do just once in a while. Fridays were the only day of the week they could spend together. The only thing they had to do was to relax and enjoy each other’s company, nothing else. There was no stress from work, no worries, no more calls to do, or emails to answer.

Many times, she would wear William’s leather jacket and smell the remaining scent left there. Every night at 4 am, a terrible dream would wake her up, and his father was always there to calm her down. Every night was the same as the previous one. Every night, she would remember William’s last words in her dream. And every night, she would get a little more depressed until this depression took her next to William

He’d thought about inviting Beverly too, though he was reluctant, as always, to err from this tradition.…

    The Professor thought that “people who are intensely in love when they marry, and who go on being in love, always meet with something which suddenly or gradually makes a difference,” and that, for him and his wife, “it had been…his pupil, Tom Outland” (Cather 38).
