I thought about Juliet some more.<\/p>\n
I wondered what she would have done if Romeo had left her, not because he was banished, but because he lost interest?\u00c2\u00a0 What if Rosalind had given him the time of day, and he’d changed his mind?\u00c2\u00a0 What if, instead of marrying Juliet, he’d just disappeared?<\/p>\n
I thought I knew how Juliet would feel.<\/p>\n
She wouldn’t go back to her old life, not really.\u00c2\u00a0 She wouldn’t ever have moved on, I was sure of that.\u00c2\u00a0 Even if she’d lived until she was old and gray, every time she closed her eyes, it would have been Romeo’s face she saw behind her lids.\u00c2\u00a0 She would have accepted that, eventually.<\/p>\n
