”So much…life”
”It’s a rich continent.”
”More wild life than all the twelve colonies put together.”
”Just looking for a quiet little place for that cabin”
”Maybe a garden. I don’t have much of a green thumb so I hope that you do.”

She was his everything. His motivation, his passion his joy. Without her he felt lost.
She was gone, deep down he knew she was gone and he wasn’t getting her back.
He sat on the ground face in hands and felt as the tears streamed down his face, he didn’t care.
He didn’t care about anything. Nothing mattered, not the fleet, not his command, not Kara not Saul not even fraking Lee. He had lost her.
He took his gun out, fiddling with it, weighing his options.
He looked at the freshly dug grave. Thinking how much he wished to be with her, right now and for the rest of eternity.
He felt a soft touch on his shoulder, so soft he wasnt sure it was there.
“Bill”
He couldn’t turn around
“Your time isn’t yet.”
“Isn’t for a long while.”
“Laura”
His voice got caught to his throat
“Shhh”
“I’ll be waiting, and when your time comes.”
“I’ll be welcoming you with open arms.”
“But I don’t want to wait”
He was sobbing
“I know”
“Neither do I”
“But good things are worth waiting for”
“I love you Bill.”
“Goodbye, for now.”
He could feel a squeeze on his shoulder as the sensation slowly disappeared, he didn’t turn around
“I love you Laura”
“I’ll be with you soon”
