"She shook her head slowly from side to side. 'There's no truth in the rumour. I'm sorry. I truly am.'"

All the anticipation. All the questions. All the hope. It all came down to this meeting with Madame and Miss Emily. Were the rumors true? Was there hope that they could live longer lives together? All of it came down to this, and the answer was simply "no." The rumors were not true, and there was nothing that they could do to help them. They just had to live out the rest of their lives and die when their time came. I've had moments before when the worst answer I could predict is the one I got. However, it couldn't compare to Kathy and Tommy's situation. Their thoughts about life and their childhood had all been wrong. Even though they might not have shown it, finally knowing the truth had to have hurt.
