After a few years, Ra and Helen had an anniversary party and the community
turned out in full force. It was at these large parties that I would sneak
away with Ra and we talked and I would force myself on him. This night, he
seemed unusually irritated and he grabbed me by my arms taking them from
around his neck, and looked at me fiercely and angrily saying "I don't love
you!" I was crushed. I ran through the party and home with my head
down. I stood by the window and watched the party in their parlor. I
was frozen with shock. I believed he no longer loved me and I could
not figure out when he stopped loving me. I stood there and watched
as he gently patted Helen's hand in her lap, as he laughed when people talked
to him, as he looked lovingly into her eyes; as they danced together, and
as he kissed her while they were dancing. I slowly felt myself turning to
stone. I closed the curtain and stood there in the dark.
