Katerina sat alone, terrified of what lay ahead. Memories of her and John flashed across her head. From the first moment she met him to the last time she saw him. "Oh, Johnny, I'm not sure how much longer I can go without you. We were destined for greater things. But I have to continue for the sake of our children." Katerina was overcome with emotion as she relived the moment she learned the news. "It can't be John, Uncle Edwin; he told me he wouldn't!" He promised we'd be together." Katerina realized he was gone when she went to her knees. Her husband, her greatest friend, had abandoned her. The widow had given up on herself.
