It wasn't uncommon for her to let her mind wander in the direction of Roark because it made the days go faster. Now, Aggie's tour is over and it's time for her to go home, ending the business between her and Roark, but does that mean it's time for pleasure? What will happen when she returns home and Roark stays behind?
