That was just 13 months ago, Janet remembered, dropping her gloves on the table and lighting the lamp with the same gesture. They had been married only three weeks, just long enough to realize they were imposing on Craigs family who were cramped for quarters themselves.

She glanced at the to call him 'telephone, home, but her own recalcitrant nature refused to allow such a move. She turned on the radio instead and pretended the tears that welled In her eyes at the strains of Silent Night were merely tears of weariness after the preparation of the office party that morning. Deliberately she opened the dresser drawer to put away last night's ironing. Her souvenir box loomed temptingly before her. Lifting the cover, she stared at the items she had collected: Craig's class ring, exchanged for a diamond after their graduation from college; a pressed orchid, one of those she had carried at her wedding; various cards, Christmas, anniversary, birthday, valentine. She picked up a small gift card and read again, To my dear wife, Janet, on our first Christmas.

Without Craig, Christmas could never hold the same meaning for her as it once had. She didnt stop to lock the door for there was nothing of value anyone could steal from her. Even her $100 Christmas bonus lying on the table went unnoticed. The one thing she must not lose was happiness, and that was no longer In her home with Craig gone.

As she reached the last flight of stairs, she crashed into a figure who was hurrying up, as oblivious of his surroundings as she. She gasped at the Impact, but the man quickly regained his balance and caught her before she could fall. Janet! he cried. She looked at him almost In disbelief. Then, throwing her arms about him she gave full vent to her tears. Oh, Craig! Darling, I was just coming for you. He kissed her and held her tightly.
