Heather Dixon Quotes
I'm So Sorry We've Kept This For Such A Long Time," She Said, Pulling The Watch From Her Skirt Pocket. She Unfolded Mother's Handkerchief From Around It, And Offered It To Lord Bradford Cradled In Her Hands. "We Shouldn't Have Taken It In The First Place."
Lord Bradford's Eyebrows Rose At The Offering, And He Opened His Mouth, Then Closed It. He Lowered His Eyes To The Books In His Hands, Then Back To Azalea, And He Managed A Smile.
"When We First Met," He Said, "ages Ago, You Gave Me A Candy Stick. Just Like You Did Now, With Your Hands Like That. Do You Remember?"
Azalea Raised An Eyebrow.
"It Happened When My Father Had Just Died," He Said, Quietly. "You Came To The Graveyard, Licking A Candy Stick. You Saw Me. You Put The Stick In My Hands, Folded My Fingers Over It, And Kissed My Fingertips."
"That Must Have Been Sticky," Said Azalea.
