When Wadley went into Sylvia’s office, she was looking out the window. She told him to go away, but he heard something strange in her voice. Being braver than he had ever felt—maybe after talking to Belinda Blaine, he vaguely thought—he asked, “What is it, Syl?”

She turned as if to yell at him, but then her face crumpled, and she threw herself onto him. “Oh, Wadley. Gracie’s all I have. I can’t lose her. What am I going to do?”

His reaction of astonishment was followed quickly by something near delight. At last this self-contained woman needed him. He held her, and stroked her hair and murmured to her, as he had long desired to do. Wadley was a man who cried, who had never expected himself to stay strong, and he always felt that his knowledge of emotion was something he could give to Sylvia, if she would ever let him.

He got her tissues, he sat her down, he told Miss Lenore they were not to be disturbed, and he told Sylvia to tell him all about it. She was so broken that she did.
