He looked at her, sadness reflected in all areas of his face.
She looked at him, reflecting the same emotion.
Ten...
Words were spoken, but no amount of vowels or consonants could change the fact that this was the end for them.
No words could replace Aslan's.
Their hearts were breaking, with each second drawing nearer to their separation.
Nine...
She turned around, he watched her walk away.
Eight ...
But, forgetting all her judgement, she ran back to him.
All eyes were on them, but the voices drowned out as the two shared something they had never done before.
That kiss was their first and only, and would be the last.
Seven ...
It was the final goodbye, her last glance into the world she loved, the place where she had left her heart.
Looking into those eyes, she could see all his unanswered questions, all these lingering emotions racing at once, wondering if he too saw hers.
Was that enough? Was that final gesture enough to give herself away to him for eternity?
Six ...
Taking the final step into her future, all was left behind and she had to face reality.
The loud noises echoed through the tunnel as the train pulled up to the station, but nothing could be heard except her heartbeat racing wildly inside.
Five...
Quickly, the four Pevensies grabbed their belongings and boarded the train. The conversation between the siblings seemed to be only distant echoes for Susan, as she sat there all the memories racing through her mind.
A tears formed and fell from her lifeless eyes.
Four ...
Gripping onto her skirt, she cried. Tears fell upon her calloused hands and she could do nothing to stop them.
These were the hands that held him, caressing his face as she shared her emotions with him, the hands he held when lifting her up onto his horse – how could she ever forget him?
Placing her fingers on her trembling lips, she could feel the coldness.
Three...
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Why ... why ...
All thoughts were then interrupted by arms that wrapped around her shoulder. Looking up she saw it was Lucy, smiling gently at her.
"It's alright," cooed her younger sister.
"I know, I know," she replied trying to sound reassuring, wiping the tears from her eyes.
Two...
"It's alright to cry you know," Edmund added, with a sad face as he looked upon his sister.
"You'll see him again one day – I mean we didn't enter Narnia just to forget it for forever," Peter said, trying to be a bit reasonable with her.
Hearing those words made sense and knew that each syllable held truth.
"You're absolutely right," she responded.
Lucy smiled gently, "Goodbyes were made so you could say hello once more."
With that, Susan smiled, knowing one day she would see him again.
She would not forget, she'd just remember and keep her memories knowing she could share them with him once more.
And she would wait for that final moment.
One ...
Two, three, four...
