The garden doors are left open. Sterling's heart nearly stops. He edges out, crosses the garden, and for the first time sits on top of the old stone wall – looking directly into Wendy's world.

Wendy is close. Sterling calls to her. She looks. She considers. She walks away. It is, Sterling tells Archer, the best day of his life.
