She caressed the outside of her large purse one more time, partly to make sure there was no tell-tale bulge, but mostly to remind her of the strength she had hidden in there. Communication is the key to any relationship, she thought. She had the letter she had written, and if she needed it, she had something else for him as well.

Suddenly he stopped, and she almost bumped into him! She froze in his tracks as he gazed in the window of a furniture store. How odd, she thought. He's never done that before. Then he jumped, and she realized he had seen her reflection. He bolted like a scared puppy and scurried away into a bakery. She couldn't see him any more.
