Decades later, Annie closed Peter’s eyes as he drew his last breath and kissed his lips. “Thank you for loving me,” she whispered.
That night she dreamed. George walked with her on the banks of the Bonnechere River, they were young again. Hand in hand they rambled over their childhood haunts. In the green wood under the boughs of the blooming apple trees with trout lilies around their feet, he took her face in his hands and kissed her as he never had the chance to in life.
“Thank you for taking such care of my brother, Annie. I’ll be waiting for you as I’ve waited all these years for my brother’s bride.”
