As for myself, I have much forgiveness to seek, and I do so each day here. I wish to apologize to you both for your terrible loses during those darks days. Had we all eyes to see more clearly then, had we purer hearts, the fire that took us over could not have been kindled.
Your friend in all sincerity,
Nathaniel Ingersoll
Jeremy came round and took Serena in his arms as she’d begun to sob with the memories of her mother’s last days, and how her father had died alone. Holding her tight and then tighter, Jeremy thought too of how his own mother and father had died in Salem so many years ago. He thought of the series of ministers whose families had died in that parish, and of how poor George Burroughs had ended his days. He thought of broken paths and crooked turns and gnarled branches, all the fingers of small streams and rivers that had brought him and Serena together here in Greenwich. Here in a life of peace with three children of their own to nourish and protect.
Together in the middle of the room, the lovers gently rocked into one another, until after a moment, they appeared as one.
