I turned away from the very happily entranced couple and made my way out of the crowd to a quiet spot by the railing of the platform village. The imagery of the two together had brought back a lot of memories. Good memories. Memories that I would always have and cherish.

"Your advice to Jim was good, but I can't help but think that you would be best served if you took a little of it for yourself. Second chances may be rare, but new beginnings are perhaps rarer still."

I glanced toward Matt, but he was already walking away. I turned back to the bubbly waters of the lagoon. Idly I wondered what mysteries the waters may hold within their depths.

This new land had been a constant revealing of mysteries with new ones around every corner to be discovered. I wanted to discover more of them, but I had to start out right.

I slipped my wedding ring off and holding it up to my lips I kissed it, "Goodbye Laura."

I held the ring for a moment longer before I let it slip from my fingers to watch it disappear into the crystal waters of the lagoon.
