Jane Sampton drove away from the Sampton Family home and then drove alone on the streets.
She wanted to return home, but she was afraid that James Black would see her looking so angry, jealous, and irrational – an ugly sight.
After circling around the city district for half an hour, Jane Sampton finally bought a box of beer at a small grocery store by the roadside and then drove to a deserted place by the riverside. Alone, she sat on the car top, drinking beer and gazing at the river scenery, unsure whether it was good or bad.
All the tears that had not been shed in front of Grandpa Sampton and Granny Sampton, when alone, could no longer withstand the waves of grievance in her heart, and fell.
What she feared most was not having nothing at all.
But having had something and then losing it bit by bit.
What she feared most was the person who was once kind to her, later, for someone else, used her.
