A/N: Thanks for riding with me in this experiment. You're free to read the ending you want, or every ending in the "book". I'd love to hear what you think of it, though…

"Please don't speak…"
But she had to tell him.
"He… he killed Andrea…"
Blood spattered with every syllable breathed.
His heart draining at the same speed hers did.
"He… thought… we… found him… out…"
Gargling sounds. Labored breathing. White dress shirt turning burgundy. Life seeping out as he held on tight.
"Jess… I…"
"D-don't..."
Absolution as part of the last rites, from the one departing to the one left behind.
"C-c-cold…"
Tightening grip against his chest; one heartbeat speeding as the other one slowed down. Hands holding tight, warm and sticky, bathed in vital liquid, unable to stop the flow of life escaping from her body, running through his fingers.
"I love you"
Smile reached her dying eyes before gracing scarlet tinged lips, briefly warming marble cold turning flesh.
"M-m-me t-t…"
Last confession made on last breath, last moments of life ebbing into the shadows as the last rays of light bathed two immobile figures before darkness enveloped them at last.

A/N: Hope to have made justice to your choice. Will greatly appreciate input on how I did it… first time I've ever "killed" anyone.
