Serena looked at William, surprised.

"He's going to lose you forever," William reached out, his deep and gentle eyes locking with Serena's. "My lady, are you ready to set sail on a new journey?"

Serena smiled softly, a weight lifted off her shoulders. "Yes."

"Let's go. The car has been ready for a while. With Aaron gone, things will be much simpler for us."

Serena nodded, glancing at William's large hand but choosing not to take it. Instead, she wheeled herself forward. "Where's the car?"

William pulled back his hand with a smile. "In the parking lot downstairs."
