Mary McCarthy Quote

It came to her that he was going to leave without making love to her. This would mean they had made love for the last time this morning. But that did not count: this morning they did not know it was for the last time. When the door shut behind him, she still could not believe it. It can't end like this, she said to herself over and over, drumming with her knuckles on her mouth to keep from screaming.
