He
dropped
back
on
the
pillow
and
lay
still
,
his
eyes
closed
.
His
face
seemed
young
,
at
peace
.
Seeing
it
for
a
moment
without
the
reins
of
tension
,
she
realized
suddenly
the
extent
of
the
unhappiness
he
had
borne
;
but
it
s
past
now
,
she
thought
,
it
s
over
.
He
got
up
,
not
looking
at
her
.
His
face
was
blank
and
closed
again
.
He
picked
up
his
clothes
from
the
floor
and
proceeded
to
dress
,
standing
in
the
middle
of
the
room
,
half
-
turned
away
from
her
.
He
acted
,
not
as
if
she
wasn
t
present
,
but
as
if
it
did
not
matter
that
she
was
.
His
movements
,
as
he
buttoned
his
shirt
,
as
he
buckled
the
belt
of
his
slacks
,
had
the
rapid
precision
of
performing
a
duty
.

She
lay
back
on
the
pillow
,
watching
him
,
enjoying
the
sight
of
his
figure
in
motion
.
She
liked
the
gray
slacks
and
shirt
the
expert
mechanic
of
the
John
Galt
Line
,
she
thought
,
in
the
stripes
of
sunlight
and
shadow
,
like
a
convict
behind
bars
.
But
they
were
not
bars
any
longer
,
they
were
the
cracks
of
a
wall
which
the
John
Galt
Line
had
broken
,
the
advance
notice
of
what
awaited
them
outside
,
beyond
the
Venetian
blinds
she
thought
of
the
trip
back
,
on
the
new
rail
,
with
the
first
train
from
Wyatt
Junction
the
trip
back
to
her
office
in
the
Taggart
Building
and
to
all
the
things
now
open
for
her
to
win
but
she
was
free
to
let
it
wait
,
she
did
not
want
to
think
of
it
,
she
was
thinking
of
the
first
touch
of
his
mouth
on
hers
she
was
free
to
feel
it
,
to
hold
a
moment
when
nothing
else
was
of
any
concern
she
smiled
defiantly
at
the
strips
of
sky
beyond
the
blinds
.
"
I
want
you
to
know
this
.
"
He
stood
by
the
bed
,
dressed
,
looking
down
at
her
.
His
voice
had
pronounced
it
evenly
,
with
great
clarity
and
no
inflection
.
She
looked
up
at
him
obediently
.
He
said
:
"
What
I
feel
for
you
is
contempt
.
But
it
s
nothing
,
compared
to
the
contempt
I
feel
for
myself
.
I
don
t
love
you
.
I
ve
never
loved
anyone
.

I
wanted
you
from
the
first
moment
I
saw
you
.
I
wanted
you
as
one
wants
a
whore
for
the
same
reason
and
purpose
.
I
spent
two
years
damning
myself
,
because
I
thought
you
were
above
a
desire
of
this
kind
.
You
re
not
.
You
re
as
vile
an
animal
as
I
am
.
I
should
loathe
my
discovering
it
.
I
don
t
.
Yesterday
,
I
would
have
killed
anyone
who
d
tell
me
that
you
were
capable
of
doing
what
I
ve
had
you
do
.
Today
,
I
would
give
my
life
not
to
let
it
be
otherwise
,
not
to
have
you
be
anything
but
the
bitch
you
are
.
All
the
greatness
that
I
saw
in
you
I
would
not
take
it
in
exchange
for
the
obscenity
of
your
talent
at
an
animal
s
sensation
of
pleasure
.
We
were
two
great
beings
,
you
and
I
,
proud
of
our
strength
,
weren
t
we
?
Well
,
this
is
all
that
s
left
of
us
and
I
want
no
self
-
deception
about
it
.
