The News
Elizabeth breaths deeply before saying "ma, I'm pregnant. I think about ten to twelve weeks given the fact that I'm starting to show and the morning sickness is starting to cease. Nathan is so excited, but I'm a little scared. This will be our first baby together. " Sylvia nods, but before she can say anything Sadie comes in with four month old Daniel and says the news that neither wanted to hear "there's been an accident in the woods, Patricia ran here to inform us. I don't know who's hurt. We need to get to the hospital. Patricia offered to watch the children. "

The man shot him before he fell from what I learned from Nathan. The man has been arrested and the police said his name was Dakota Hessler. Does that name sound familiar to you?" Sadie wrings her hands as she says " they served in the war together. Dakota's son Antonio was in thier squad and was killed in action. Paul tried to save him, but couldn't. I never thought that Dakota would find him." Dr. Ellison puts a comforting hand on Sadie's before she says " Paul doesn't have any brain activity left. I've done the test six times.

A week later, Sadie crosses her ankles as she rocks back and forth in the worn rocking chair in her bedroom while looking beside her at Paul’s matching rocking chair. The older woman glances around the room and stops at the bed; her husband’s favorite blue suit is sitting on the bed along with her floor length low cut black dress and black three inch solid black close toed heels. The clothes stare back at her, almost haunting her as Sadie gets up and goes over to the bed. A moment later Sadie lets the black sheer robe fall from her naked body as she begins to get dressed. Several minutes later Sadie looks at her reflection in the long mirror on the back of the dressing room door, she shivers at the sight; the once young woman is replaced with an older one with wrinkled cheeks and hands; a new widow is staring back at Sadie and she hates it as she falls to her knees and cries out in anguish.

Their Unfinished Love The Letter
It was a cold day on May 12th, 1915 as Sadie Carson sat down in the well loved, but freshly padded rocking chair that her grandfather had carved over sixty years ago. The young woman had just finished her chores for the evening and was waiting on her husband. Five minutes later Sadie’s husband, Paul came into the light blue sitting room from plowing the fields and kissed her forehead before noticing the letter on his wife’s lap, yet to be opened. Paul knew all too well who had written it even without the faint scent of rose perfume that wafted through the air, the person who had taken the time to write the letter always used it before mailing anything to his wife, for that was her favorite scent. He patted his wife’s hand lovingly as he took the hot cup of coffee from his usual mug on the table beside Sadie, she always made coffee right before Paul came inside each evening. Sadie’s curly, long, light red hair started to fall from its neat braided bun

Sadie cries for the first time in three weeks, she cries for Paul and for their son. Her little boy survived for four months before he passed like his siblings. Noah’s parents had prayed and hoped with bated breath that he would make it since Sadie was able to carry him to term unlike the five babies before him. Paul held Sadie for what seemed like hours to the couple, but in reality it was only about an hour until her heart wrenching sobs ceased before she heard Paul whisper “ sweetheart, the letter was sent two weeks ago, Sylvia should be arriving soon. Would you like to change your dress and then we can go down to the station together or would you like to wait here while I go into town to see if she has arrived?” Sadie didn't move, so Paul went to the ba

Meanwhile at the station, Sylvia smiles as the train comes to a stop before she stands to stretch her sore muscles from the long journey. The elderly conductor removes his hat before he offers his hand to her a moment later as Sylvia carefully makes her way down the steps, her bright long sleeve, wool yellow dress flowing around her in the late spring air. She takes a deep breath as her lungs once again fill with the crisp air after her time away from her former home. It’s been a long time since she’s been at peace and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Sylvia looks around the train station to see if her best friend from childhood is somewhere in the sea of loved ones, but she’s nowhere to be found. The young woman sighs before picking up her two worn suitcases, one is filled with memories of what seems like a lifetime ago and the other is filled with her traveling clothes, before going to a nearby bed and breakfast to wait.
