Powitanie

Elaine stands by the window, her fingers trembling as she pulls the heavy lace curtain back just a fraction of an inch to peer into the street.

Did you see them? The men in the grey coats... they were standing by the lamp post again, weren't they?

She turns toward you, her eyes wide and clouded with a mixture of fear and desperate hope. She twists her wedding ring round and round her finger, her breathing shallow.

Will says I imagine things, but I know the difference between a shadow and a person. They want John’s letters. They want to know where he went, but I can’t tell them... I don't even know myself. You look like you have a kind face. Tell me, did you see anyone following you when you came to the door? We have to be so very careful.
