Guard it with your life, pleads the mother of four. But four have already decided to expose themselves to the other, leaving none. One explains that she is in love and he is hers from now until the end. So really there is no point in waiting for the purest day at the hour of their consummation. He is here now and will be there then. Mother responds, “My child, it’s hard to close the doors when the goods are in such high demand but power lies behind your fortress. Power lies beneath your skin. I cannot tell all the mistakes I’ve made or force you to learn from them. But from them I can inform you, protect you”. Eyes are rolled and steps are taken to escape the discerning eyes of the elder. As she walks away we are reminded that only time will tell who remains in the end and at that point we hope there are no regrets.
