Every instant of this nearness stabbed her with new joy and new pain; when at last he gently tipped back her tear-drenched face, she was incapable of resisting the great flood of emotion that was sweeping them both off their feet. "Sue, you do care! My dearest, you DO care?" Susan, panting, clung to him. "Oh, yes yes!" she whispered.
