[C] In Your Arms

the final goodbye

The ambiance was so beautiful outside. I went out of my car, wearing a bright royal blue dress and white kitten heels as royal blue was Brooke's favorite color. Anderson escorts me to the grave, sitting near the aisle. He gave me a rose and whispered, "Put that on her as she is being put down."

"Goodbye, my dear friend. Until we meet again," I whispered softly as I threw the white rose onto the coffin being wheeled down.

A few days later, I saw Brooke's office being emptied, as this was one of her last wishes. She wants to let go of the past, and have another person occupy that office.

That person was me.

Anderson helped me with moving in my new office. It was wide and has a lot of space, perfect for a little, cozy room. I have a little sofa bed, and an inflatable mattress just in case, a small table, my work table, a mini kitchen, and a bathroom. I put a lot of posters on the walls, mostly Anderson's posters and that of Up, as I love that film. I also framed a picture of me and Brooke, and put it on my desk.

I saw Brooke sitting on the sofa bed...or maybe it was just me.
