Ian tucked the gun away now that he didn't have any use for it. He would search the pond Layla spoke of but if Noelle was there, he would let her rest wherever she was now. He might not have given her the burial that she deserved but he wouldn't make up for it by always remembering Noelle.

"I remember when you would sneak and come to me out by the cottage," Ian heard his mother. For a moment, he had forgotten that she was here.
