Chapter 148: Chapter One Hundred and Fourty Eight

"Perhaps" Penny thought, "If I had known what it meant to love and be loved I should not feel as I do about Jeremy"

She knew now that her love for Howard, although real and sincere, had nevertheless been immature, now at twenty seven, she had really fallen in love completely and absolutely. There had been no one since Howard partly because she hadn't taken several years to recover from the shock of his death, partly because she could never be satisfied with a light, casual flirtation. It must be love or nothing for her —always. And now Jeremy had come into her life, confirming her instinctive belief that it was worth waiting for the real thing.
