My beautiful Lilly,

I don’t know where you have gone, but I am sad and distressed, I cannot find you. I wanted to say goodbye in person and I thought I would have time. We finally rounded up Bart and packed all of our equipment. Trey has decided we are heading out of town today. I can’t tell you how much these past few weeks have meant to me. You are a special lady, one deserving of all the good things life has to offer. Right now, I am a vagabond musician, traveling where they will have me. You are so talented and carry a bright light no amount of abuse has been able to or would ever be able to extinguish. I am grateful our paths have crossed and I have gotten to know you. I will be traveling with the band to Florida, up the East coast and back across the country to California. We will be in San Francisco by early summer. Trey wants to make the whole trip again next year. Hopefully, the tour will happen again and I will return to the magikcal city where a part of my heart lives with a beautiful Cajun faerie.

Love, Roland

“NO! No, no, no no, no.” Her throat closed, her heart constricted. Her body tensed and, finally, the tears came. Sobbing hysterically, she fell onto the bed, holding the roses in her arms. Her world fell away and she plummeted into despair.

Pounding on her head with her hand she berated herself. ‘I let my guard down and spazzed out over a traveling musician. I thought we were falling in love, but no, he, he was having a frolic. He knew he would be leaving, but he never mentioned it, never said a word. Agnes may have been telling the truth, when he was nowhere to be found, he was dipping his wick in strippers on Bourbon St. I have been a fool. I have ignored my studies and my meditations for a romp with a musician.’ Putting her head in her hands she sobbed, ‘I knew he would be leaving. I chose not to see it, or think about it or mention it. Putting blinders on, I pretended we could go on forever.’

Three days of seesawing from self-reproach and fury to mind numbing grief left Lilly depleted physically and emotionally. On the afternoon of the third day she was exhausted and out of food and coffee. She took a deep breath and decided to suck it up and walk to the A&P for groceries. Despite her half-hearted efforts, a splash of cold water did little to shrink her swollen eyes and red face. She
