The story explores the complex emotions and relationships of its characters, primarily focusing on Mattie and Kirkby, who have reached a pivotal moment in their lives as they decide to leave the only home they have known for a new beginning in Canada. This decision ignites a reflection on their past, their individual desires, and the concept of freedom that has been elusive for Mattie. At the start of the story, we witness the aftermath of a significant decision: Kirkby has written a letter resigning from his long-held position as head gardener. The narrative captures the emotional turmoil surrounding this choice, as the couple grapples with their expectations and fears about the future. Mattie's initial silence during this moment of change hints at her deep, complex feelings, while Kirkby observes her, struggling with his own uncertainties. As they begin to prepare for the move, their discussions reveal their intertwined histories and the shifts in their relationship, setting the stage for a journey of discovery and reflection on what it truly means to belong.
