A Glimpse of the Past
By Moose
Epilogue
Nick and Sara both decided to attend Eleanor Rose's funeral. When they got to the cemetery, they found quite a large gathering of mostly elderly people attending the funeral. They arrived at the middle of the service, and they stayed at the edge of the crowd.
When the service was over, Nick turned to Sara and said, "Let's go closer."
Sara nodded and held onto Nick's arm as they approached the grave. They had barely walked several steps when a gasp made them stop.
"Bruce Stockard! Samantha Grant!"
"Oh boy, here we go again," Nick murmured, trying to find out who said those words. He didn't need to look far, because the woman who said it approached them.
"Bruce! Samantha!" she exclaimed again.
"I'm sorry, you must be mistaken," Nick said politely. "My name is Nick Stokes and this is Sara Sidle."
The woman looked at Nick, then at Sara, then at Nick again. The air was suddenly filled with excitement. It seemed that everyone agreed with the woman, and Sara could hear mumbling and see people pointing at them.
"I'm sorry," the woman finally said. "It's just - you both have striking resemblance to friends we lost a long time ago. Lee was especially close to them both."
"Did you say Lee?" Sara inquired, her heart pounding faster.
"Yes, that was Eleanor's nickname," the woman replied. "I'm sorry again for mistaking you for our friends."
"No harm done," Nick smiled. The woman then left, and Nick and Sara just stood there.
"So that explains it all," Sara finally said. "Lee, Scarlet and Eleanor were one and the same."
"That was one crazy night," Nick commented.
"So crazy I'm beginning to think it didn't happen," Sara agreed.
Nick reached in his pocket and showed Sara the keys that Tim had given him. "It did happen," he said, with a knowing look in his eyes. He draped an arm over Sara's shoulders.
"I know," Sara replied softly, leaning against him. "I know it did happen."
