August looked back at Graeme with a bright smile.
"Look, you did help," she pointed to the disappearing petals.
"I don't see anything," he replied, squinting in the direction she was pointing.
"They said the petals going up like that had something to do with how I was healing," she explained, and when he gave her a confused look, she shrugged. "I don't know," she giggled. "I don't get it either. But they're gone now, which means it's over."
"I need to tell you about my conversation with Penelope," he nodded and began pulling her with him toward the shoreline.
"You were able to talk with her?" August gasped, realizing now that he hadn't had a chance to tell her anything about this yet.
"Oh yeah. I learned a lot," he grunted.
They rose from the water, walking onto the mossy ground together holding hands. When Graeme looked down at his mate's body, he frowned. She was bright red.
