Hmmm...
What is John doing here?
He was supposed to be hunting with Robin all week
And Robin is not here
"John?"
He comes up to my gate
He looks a mess
His face is dirty
He looks as if he has not slept
And he has been crying
Crying?!
What happened?
What's wrong?
Where's Robin?!
When I ask tears come to his eyes
He tells me
He tells me lies
He tells me Robin is dead
Tells me that the woman who killed my mother has killed my husband
NO!
Robin is not dead
I love him too much for that
John sees my disbelief and sobs harder
He's a liar
A horrid liar
He and Robin are playing a silly joke on me
Just for fun
I tell him to stop
The joke is not funny anymore
It never was funny
Then I look into John's eyes
Filled with tears
Filled with regret
Filled with sadness
And I know he is telling the truth
I break down
I cannot see anything
All I can see is my memories of Robin
I remember
The day we met
The day I fell in love with him
The day we were married
The days our children were born
And Robin is DEAD?!
John
Takes
Me
In
His
Arms
He tries to comfort me
And I cry
I don't know how long I cry for
So long my face is clenched
So long my stomach hurts
What is my life worth without Robin?
"Mama?"
My littlest child
Tugs at my skirt
John lets go of me
Embarrassed
I look at my daughter's chubby face
So concerned
"It's all right mama... don't cry"
"Please don't cry"
I pick her up
This little girl has a part of my husband in her
So do all of my children
My life is worth something
Them.
