until he was gone. There was revulsion in
her mind for herself, for life, for all of the
future This was it then. You were young and
then in a moment you were older and the
freshness was gone from everything, leaving
only so much for so much - price for so
much value - bargains in all transactions.
And she hated herself for using Michael for
few weeks to pretend she was twenty again.
for twenty never happened again and that
was probably the best thing about it. AS she

it was like to have been twenty. Something
