The future was now bright. THE END

I knelt and bowed three times. My forehead pressed against the cold, damp ground, yet I felt an unexpected, profound calm wash over me. “Don’t worry. I’ll live well.” “For both of us.” By the time I left the cemetery, the sun had finally broken through. Somehow, my own clear day had begun too.

At last, everything is over. The End

Guests could wait. THE END *****************************

"We’ll get married at the end of the month." In the end, he never believed me. I let out a bitter laugh and shook my head. Closing my eyes, I waited to disappear completely. Suddenly, an all-too-familiar force tugged at me once more. At William's bachelor party, everyone raised their glasses in celebration. "William is finally moving on! From now on, it’ll be nothing but happiness and smooth sailing for him!" "Exactly!" William lifted his own glass, but his expression was gloomy and unreadable.

In his arms. THE END

The only one that could set them free. **THE END**

I was about to pull my attention away by starting another conversation with Ryan, but was interrupted when the boat driver announced there was an hour left in our rental, and whoever wanted to parasail should go now. This was yet again, something I had never done and was very excited to try. The two girls Alec had been talking to decided to go first, and tandem parasail. Alec stayed up at the bow of the boat while we all watched the two girls raise into the air. It was hard to tell if it was gonna be wild or peaceful. My stomach was in knots as I anticipated my turn. Ryan had asked if I wanted to go with him, but he seemed like he wanted to go alone and I figured I'd be able to handle this.

We are home. THE END
