XIV. 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
That day, Zoe Murphy receives a text message from Evan during the afternoon, a picture of Connor and Evan holding a chocolate egg, and the words 'happy Easter', and when she sees the rings she decides to keep it to herself.
That day the rest of the Murphy family prepare to celebrate Easter themselves, but both Larry and Cynthia receive a more monotone version of the message, no pictures attached.
Heidi Hansen does get a picture that day, but it's of an already broken egg, with the caption 'mistakes were made', and then a few emoticons, she laughs to herself when she notices Connor sent it. She does get a 'happy Easter' from her son latter.
There are no warning signs, no pre-emptive apologies, nothing that gives away what this day will be for them from now on; it's the last act before the curtain call.

In the first hours of the day, all is quiet; everyone seems to have gone home because not a single car passes by as they make their way through the bridge.
They've left the things in the car, the note hidden somewhere hard to find, just in case, though they doubt this will fail.
"If you knew you only had one chance to say something to that one person, what would it be?"
They're both standing on the edge, one hand holding them there, the other holding onto the other's hand. Connor plays with Evan's ring as they both take in the scenery, before turning to him.
"Ready?"
"Yeah"
"Hey, I love you"
"I love you too"
They let go, of the railing, hands squeezing each other, and then they jump.
