| Description: |
Leslie denies writing the letter very strongly, which creates a long moment of uncertainty, followed by a dark, slow descending scale in the low strings as her words settle in Howard's mind - he realizes that she is going to deny something he knows is true; the music reflects Leslie's decision to deny the letter and resign herself to the situation (with emotions now settling) |
