The romance novels she reads do not end that way. Niecee tired at last of talking to herself. She became the new receptionist at a rest home called Parkway Place, and though she hasn't fallen in love again, she can't swear it won't happen. After the annulment, she quit writing Barnett. She signed off:
"No matter how long I live, I'll remember ... the feel of your strong arms holding me, the look in your eyes as you made love to me.... There will always be a spot in my heart that says, 'I belong to Barnett Wade Garrison.' God bless and keep you always. Love, Niecee."
