"Over and Out"
Saturday, May 8th
6:00pm
In Titania's room, she and Isabelle were packing up her things.
"Are you ready to go back home?" Isabelle asked.
"I am."
Isabelle hugged her.
"I'm all packed up," Titania told her.
"So am I," she smiled.
"Good. We can leave in the morning then."
"I have somewhere to take you first. Since it's our last night here."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You can't leave Maine without seeing it first."

Isabelle led Titania to a spot right on the coast of Cape Elizabeth.
"Where are we?" Titania asked.
"Portland Head Lighthouse."
"It's so beautiful."
"It is. Living here, it's been my favourite spot," Isabelle took her hand.
"It's incredible out here."
"'My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.'" Isabelle recited Romeo & Juliet.
"I love you, Titania," Isabelle told her.
"I love you, too."
Isabelle smiled and kissed her.
"Come on, I know where the view is even better."
Isabelle led her to the top of the lighthouse.
"Wow," Titania looked out through the glass.
"Yeah, wow."
Isabelle squeezed her hand and started singing softly.
"The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings"
When Isabelle paused, Titania noticed a sparkle in her eye.
Still holding her hand, Isabelle dropped to one knee.
"What..." Titania gasped.
"I love you, Titania. With all my heart. Will you marry me?"
"YES!!!"

When Titania and Isabelle pulled into the driveway of her family's house back in Boston, she sprang out from the car.
"Mom!" Titania called.
Jillian came rushing out.
"Titania! Oh, thank god."
Jillian hugged Titania tight.
"Titania?" Darren came out of the house.
"Dad!"
"Titania!" Cassiopeia rushed out.
"Cassie!"
"Hey, sis," Orion joined them.
"Come here, Orion."
They all hugged.
