One Last Goodbye

There was one last thing they had to do before they could leave. The two of them came prepared. Riza carried the bridesmaid bouquets as an offering. It was a silent trip. Together they walked through the grass. The storm clouds were threatening rain, but neither of them noticed. Their destination was a familiar grave. Riza bent to place the flowers at the headstone before returning to Roy's side, twining her fingers with his.

"Well, Hughes, I finally followed your advice. I found myself a wife. The truth is I found her a long tom ago. But you knew that. But I wanted to let you know before I said goodbye." Roy smiled. "We did it, Maes. We changed the country. I think it's going to turn up right this time. It may take awhile, but things are changing. But this is goodbye. I can't come back. They let us live, but we have to leave. So this is goodbye, Maes."

"Roy?"

He smiled at his wife. "Let's go before it rains."
