window to watch chickadees at the feeder that Mitch had staked into the

ground。

It was a time of quiet serenity。 Anne did little reading and even less

work。 Rather; she spent hours in calm reverie before the fire; a triumph

in and of itself。 She was happy。 She wasnt brooding or mourning。 She

didnt want to be anywhere else; with anyone else in the world。

During one of these relaxing moments; on the last evening of their stay;

Mitch suddenly went to his bedroom and returned with a small box。 It was

wrapped in white and had a pale blue ribbon。

〃Whats this?〃 she asked in surprise。

〃Open it。〃

She pulled at the bow with unsteady fingers。 〃When did you get this?〃

She hadnt expected a gift。 His presence was enough。

〃I was in Brazil right after Thanksgiving。 It was made by one of the

local artisans in a small village in the interior。〃

chin。 Then she leaned forward and gave him a soft and heartfelt kiss。 〃I

wish I had something to give you;〃 she whispered when it was done。

In a trembling breath; he said; 〃You already have; Anne。 And I thank

you。〃

Anne drove north again on a Friday afternoon in the second week of

February。 As the first flakes of snow began to fall; she sniffled and
