he hugged valentine goodbye, he had no words for her, no words coulddescribe the feelings he felt, but he knew she understood, because she must be feeling them aswell.
and taking nothing, apart from the half of valentines heart which he owned, and leaving half of his with her, he left, not another word. valentine held it until she heard the engine from the car speedoff down the road, to take ender, take him away, for maybe a few years, maybe for ever, only then, did she let out her cry, fell back againt the wall and let it all come out, nobody cared about her, everybody carried on as normal, for nobody loved ender like valentine did, and nobody ever would again, nor would she love anybody like she loved ender, only the chance of ender winning the war and being allowed to come home kept her sane.
