My own heart about stopped at that moment, as I mentally thanked Thurlow for being good for something more than doling out money. Then I took Sam’s hand and leaned my head against his chest, unable to stop the smile that spread across my face. If I had ever had one doubt about the state of his mental health, it had just been put to rest.
“Now,” he said, squeezing my hand. “I’m ready to hear your confession.”
“Well,” I said, deciding that some confessions are better left unmade. What Sam didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him. “I don’t want to hurt your feelings, Sam, but that poetry you’ve been sending me is just, well . . .”
“Beautiful?”
“Yes,” I said, looking up at him. The old saying that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder came to mind and, as no other eye would ever see his poetic efforts, I spoke the unvarnished truth. “Yes, it’s beautiful to me.”
