I had been waiting for someone like him for so long – perhaps all my life. To be treasured, though he use me hard – even abuse me. To be made a prize of, boasted of as worth more than the value others had given me: well worth lying unstrung on a dusty shelf at old man Rubenstein’s for all those months.
