or the girls or The South? One could argue "all three," but that would be covering both bases to play it safe.
Putting it another way: If Sally (and the girls) were in New York City instead of South Carolina, would he have gone back to them, yes or no?!
He went back to his wife and daughters. He was OK with being in New York, IMO.
I'm quite a lovely person - apart from my terrible taste in pie.
yes, because he still doesn't have the backbone to risk...he knows he's playing it safe and feels lucky that he loves the wife he is going back to.

Like he told Susan; He loved Sally longer.
shareI dont think it was about location as much as it was about routine. Sally was who he know. Routine's a bitch.
I <3 Virginia Woolf.
I was glad he went back to Sally and his girls. Although he fell in love with Lowenstein, I think he did really love his wife and children. He just had a hard time dealing with the stresses in his life after Luke was killed. He did love his girls, and his wife because he did have tender moments in his letter writing to them (or at least to his wife). The issues from his past prevented him from expressing them.
What I wonder about is if after going back to the South - did he retell all the same things to his wife that he told to Lowenstein? Did he tell her all about the rapes, the killing and burial of the convicts, and the way he was told to keep quiet about it?
