XXVIII. Farewell

It came to her in a dream.

She had not even been aware that he had safely returned home.

And she did not know if he had truly forgiven her for what she could not do.

She arrived in time to see the ship sail away, with the light shining from it as his friends wept on the shore.

She did not weep. But she tried to convey one last message to him.

I did not think I could ever love anyone else that way, after my husband died. Farewell, and may you find joy in your new home...my Beloved.
