And then Roarke came to my door, and that gave me what I needed after all those years. I thank God for that, and him. But I'm telling you, and hope you already know, what you do, beyond the law of it, is needed. Sinead. Roarke stepped up, pressed a handkerchief in her hand. Ah well. Sighing now, she dabbed at tears. The world can be so dark. It's foolish to deny it, and the Irish know the dark better than some in any case. It reminds us to hold on to the light, every minute we can, and to prize it. You're a light to me. She kissed Roarke's cheeks. Don't ever forget it.
