Kneeling in front of the headstone Des took the grass clippers she had brought with her and trimmed all around it making sure that her beloved French Pirate?s grave site stayed looking neat and tidy. She pulled every green thing that looked like it could possibly be a weed trying to besmirch the sanctity of where her husband?s stone sat.
Critically she sat back on her heels and surveyed her handiwork before placing the single crimson rose she had also brought with her at the foot of the beautiful gift his surviving crew had placed there. ?Well a lot has happened in the few days since I got the news my Beloved French Pirate.?
Tears began to fall as she looked at the writing on the stone and began speaking with him as though he were there with her. ?I?ve been taking your advice and getting on with living. It is hard sometimes but I?m doing it. You and I didn?t have that much time together on this here earth which I guess is both a blessing and a curse in this here situation. Wishing we had had more time together ain?t gonna get me no where but crying even more and probably back to drinking myself skunk drunk which would mean Gav would be having to carry me back out of the Inn again.?
The cowgirl sniffed and tugged the bottom of her t-shirt free to wipe her face which immediately was covered again with fresh tear tracks as she continued to speak quietly. ?You?d be proud of me though cause I ain?t letting nobody see how much I?m hurting except Tass and Gav. Ain?t nobody would want to be around somebody who was crying and moping around and all sad all the time and I know this so I ain?t being that way in front of people. I got my jobs to think of and people to please when I am working and I need my jobs so that I can make money to go shopping.?
?Gav helped me and I went through all of your things and gave them to the RhyDin orphanage except for that one shirt of yours that I was sleeping in and your Elven sword that I bought you. I?m keeping those two things so that I?ll always have something of yours with me. I ain?t giving up my rings either. I put them safely away in my jewelry box.?
?I better be going now. I got your place here looking real nice again. I still love you.? Des hopped to her feet and swiped at her face again then turned and ran from the Cemetery as fast as she could. She was making a beeline straight for where she knew Gav was as she needed comfort and badly.
