The bell hop says to her in his ever helpful voice, "Mam, I can't take your bags for you if you don't let go of the handles." He doesn't understand, it's not so easy for Sarah "to just let go." These bags are all that is left of her once promising life. The death grip on the handles began last night at the Kansas City train station in the pouring rain, where he left her crying. Dan cast her off like the excess baggage that Sarah believes she is. She bought a one way ticket to Barber Town and tonight she will sleep in this hotel alone with the wedding ring still on. Tomorrow, she will visit Mom and Dad and ask to stay awhile. Please, someone tell her before it is too late--every ticket to Barber Town is one way.
