yet in their disappointment these weeks there was a kind of ecstasy. it is reason enough to be alive, the hope you may see again some face which has meant something to you. the anticipation of meeting the bag boy eased the girl's painful transition into her new and jarring life in cincinnati. it provided for her an anchor amid all that was impersonal and unfamiliar, and she spent less time on thoughts of what she had left behind as she concentrated on what might lie ahead. and for the boy, the long and often tedious hours at the supermarket which provided no challenge other than that of showing up the following workday . . these hours became possibilities of mystery and romance for him as he watched the electric doors for the girl in the orange bow.
