I was wrong.
Susanah didn't give us away.
Maybe I misjudged her, maybe she misjudged me.
She doesn't think I love you. But then again she doesn't think that you love me either, she thinks that you are in for the money, that it's all a ruse, that you have seduced me with your 'good-looks and persistance'.
But then again she's Susanah, she always assumes the worst.
Besides, she wasn't paying attention to anyone but Joseph when you stayed before the war, she hasn't found out about the other letters.
The letters that ended up as ashes in the fireplace.
I regret burning them, they held four years of my life, but we both know that it was better that no-one knew the secrets that they hid.
I never burnt the ones that we exchanged after you went back home, the last couple of months are written clearly in both our blood, a blood that is black with lost hope and callous words of ignorance and abandon.
Susanah doesn't believe that I love you, she doesn't believe that you love me.
She doesn't think I'll do something as rash as run away.
'I'm just waiting for my chance to come.'
F.
'We're just waiting for a chance to come.'
