"I shall but love thee better after death..." I read, out loud. I frowned at the letter, but continued reading, "you know the interesting thing about the last line of the poem by Elizabeth Browning, Clarity? It could mean anything... in the poem, it means, I will love you even if either of us or both of us die.... even death won't kill my love for you. But you know the second meaning that line could have? I would love it if you were dead. And it rings true here, Clarity. Beware.... I am coming for you, because, I SHALL BUT LOVE THEE BETTER AFTER DEATH..."
