He hadn't expected to find anything of note in his great-aunt's belongings. But there they were: photos. His great-aunt, described as a spinster, a quiet recluse, was pictured with a vibrant, charming woman. They looked happy.

He wanted to destroy the images, to erase the truth. He felt the need to inflict pain, to make someone understand. He needed to inflict a pain as deep as the one he was feeling.
