My name is Amira Clyde.
It has been exactly two years since we finished building Clyde ranch.
Nothing very eventful has happened. I am now 28, that's all that's changed really. It's hard to believe when I met the Macdonald gang I was only 23. I wish I was that young again.
The farm is successful. We make good money to survive, and we're still pretty up there in the money department. Dean has his doctors office, which has been doing really well. Winston is a successful bounty Hunter. It's all been going very well. I haven't dated any guys, which isn't even very interesting. I've enjoyed being with myself.
Today, I decided to make the trip up to visit someone. I figured someone should tell Diana about Adam.
I looked at the photo of the house Winston gave me before he left on a bounty. I looked back up at the house I stood at the path of. Exact same house.
I walked up to the front entrance and knocked on the door.
A lady answered, "Who are you?".
She looked like the female version of Adam.
"Amira Clyde, mam".
"I recognize your name. You were that crazy outlaw my husband died trying to capture years back" Diana glared.
"Diana-".
"How do you know my name?".
I took a second, "I knew Adam".
She looked confused, "My younger brother Adam?".
I nodded.
"He died very young, a long time ago. The hell are you on?".
"He didn't die. He thought you were dead too, I had figured out you weren't".
"Adam survived?" A tear fell down her face.
"May I come in?".
She nodded, "You won't rob me, will you?".
"No, those days are long behind me. Over two years now mam".
"Please, call me diana" Diana let me in.
I walked into the house, "Where are your kids?".
"Outside. I'm glad they are now. I don't want them hearing about Adam, especially if you came here knowing him. No offence".
I laughed a little, "None taken".
"How is he?" Diana sat down.
"Do you want me to start from the beginning?".
Diana nodded, "Maybe".
"Well, him and the Macdonald gang rescued me after my parents died. Adam had been a part of them for awhile. After a while, Adam had been arrested saving me. I don't have to go into details about that. He was the most amazing person I had ever met. So caring, so nice. I fell in love with him, he fell in love with me. When he was rescued, we immediately connected. We got together. The two of us went through thick and thin. We did the Saint Riviera bank robbery with the gang. Adam got slammed in the back of the head by a lawman. It was a slow decline from there. My doctor friend thinks he had brain damage. He would have these random blackouts of anger. He would hurt me, hurt others. But Adam would never remember it. It got worse and more often. He ended up becoming the anger. He cheated on me, broke up with me. Then ratted us out on our last job. He died during it".
Diana sighed, "Okay, that's... that's upsetting".
"I'm so sorry Diana".
"It's okay. He would've been like that for the rest of his life anyway. Sounds like he was suffering".
I nodded, "I just wanted to let you know he was alive. Before the incident, he was trying to go see you".
Diana smiled.
I handed her a picture of him, "This was the only thing I had left of him. I thought you should have it. I want to move on".
Diana nodded, "Thank you. I very much appreciate this, Amira".
I smiled.
"Do you have any stories about him? I would love to hear one before you leave".
I thought for a moment, "The last good moment I have with him. It was the last full day he was himself. He had made me dinner and took me to a cliff edge. We got drunk, we at food, and we danced in the moonlight. He told me how much he loved me and told me I looked amazing. I forgot how much he loved me. He proposed, with such a beautiful ring. I was terrified. He didn't know how quickly he was deteriorating, I knew I wouldn't have him for much longer. I thought I could handle it. I couldn't".
Diana smiled, "Sounds like Adam. Such a sweet and loving kid. He always was one to woo the neighbourhood girls".
I laughed a little.
"Thank you, Amira".
"I should probably get going. Thank you for hearing me out" I got up.
Diana shook my hand, "You're welcome back anytime.".
I smiled, "Sound great".
Diana let me out and waved me goodbye. I got on Chells and rode off. It was an anxious ride back. After two years, I was finally ready to move on.
I will feel free.
