[ What happens to Hester, if he does this? She keeps thinking that. She knows what happens to Farrah, to Connor, Eurydice, Benjamin—but what happens to Hester?
How can this man claim to care about her, when... ]
It well may be, That he will wipe away our days, And this lifetime. So let me say if we may part, So much of me Is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend.
[ She's still standing with Farrah. But her eyes beckon Hester closer. There's so much empty space in this garden, but she hopes— please let them hear her. ]
Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you.

It well may be,
That he will wipe away our days,
And this lifetime.
So let me say if we may part,
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart.
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend.
[ She's still standing with Farrah. But her eyes beckon Hester closer. There's so much empty space in this garden, but she hopes— please let them hear her. ]
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea.
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you.
