She
tried
to
s
m
ile
back.
“I’m
fine.”
She
leaned
over
to
place
a
kiss
on
his
cheek,
and
then got up.

I
’ll
never regret an
y
t
h
ing
we’ve ever done or shared. I’ve loved
m
ost
of
my time
here in
y
o
ur
world.
I
will
alw
a

s
love
y
o

Kerrigan,
w
hether
I’m
in
Enchan
t
m
e
nt,
on
Earth,
or
a
n
y other
world.”

The
tears final
l
y
escaped
as
s
he
turned
and
walked
out
the
door.

Kerrigan

she
had

u

said.

She
loves
m
e.
Nobody
loves
me…except
Todd,
Paddy,
and
perhaps
T

reeo.

He
stood
up
in
a
daze.
His
heart
w
as
heavier
than it
ever
had
been.

H
ow
will
I
go
on
without her?
