As she started to succumb to exhaustion, the heaviness she earlier felt slowly faded away.
A smile crossed her face as her final thoughts played like a scene from a movie. She and Leo were on the dance floor, gently swaying with the music. He said, "I love you. And even in the next lifetime, it would still be you."
Her heart was at ease. She silently, ardently asked, "I pray to be with you once again. One more time. One last time."
