As we read this story, we recognize the profile of an unfeeling person, Joe. The world abounds with these. And yet, as Estelle learns, we cannot shut ourselves off from all people. However, it seems she may be repeating her mistake with Christian. Perhaps it is wise not to make one person the whole world. Perhaps each of us should keep a little light for ourselves.

Thank you for sharing this story with the Ink Well community. We appreciate that you engage with other authors.

Estelle found love at last and that's what matters. Letting ourselves love again after being hurt by the person we cared deeply about is one of the most difficult thing. But when we let that light shine again, it's everything.
