I reluctantly pry my hand free from Grant’s and work it off so I can angle it just right to catch the light that lets me see the letters inside.
We’ll live on in love. Always.
My heart swells as I slip the ring back on and twine my fingers in Grant’s.
Talk about heavy.
But it hits deep, hits true, hits until I’m smiling so hard my face screws up because he’s right.
When has he ever been wrong?
For Ethan, for Nell, for ourselves, we’ll go on.
We’ll live on and make the most of these lives.
We linger for some time with our own quiet thoughts, saying goodbye to Ethan in our own quiet way. I think we’re both living the same kaleidoscope of memories and emotions that bat my heart around like a tennis ball.
Eventually, by some unspoken agreement, we turn away. But not without me stopping to pull one of the flowers from my hair. A bright-blue one.
Ethan always loved dark, rich blue, too.
I lay it down gently on the grass and kiss the ground.
Then I rejoin my husband.
My love.
My destiny.
My sweetest obsession.
Together, we leave death behind forever, and step into a heavenly new life.
