Epilogue:

It's very late, the police have come and gone. They're leaving the crime scene until morning when they can investigate better. I have been so stunned, I cannot even cry. The Admiral was called, as well as Bud. Harriet stayed home, Bud made her. They were both weeping. Even the Admiral. He's blaming himself, I know. They both took their letters, and the Admiral promises to distribute the rest. I must say, Harm thought of everyone. Even me. Now, I must read what Harm wrote to me...

I'm finished. There is no way I could've guessed that he loved me. I suppose, if I'd paid more attention, I might've. My life is dismal now. Too dismal. Harm was the sunshine in my life. He was the air I breathed. I don't know how I thought I'd survive without him. I scribble down a few quick notes. I explain how much I love Harm, how I regret this is how I must do things. I tell my uncle I'll always love him. I ask to be buried next to Harm, wherever he's buried. Then I kiss Harm's cold form one last time. The gun that killed him, will be the end of me too. I pick it up, and pull the trigger.....................
