    Marla looked at the two telegrams the delivery boy had just left with her, and smiled.

    The first one read:

    END

    She looked up at her husband.

    “You are really going to do this.” Franz didn’t ask a question. He knew who he was talking to; he made a statement.

    “Uh-huh.” Marla wrapped her arms around herself. She felt cold all of a sudden.

    Franz said nothing more, but wrapped his own arms around her. She nestled in his embrace, and drew strength from him.
