Aly waited until everyone had had their time with Peter. Then, slowly she approached her husband's casket. She didn't have anything to say. Nothing seemed right. They had said so much in the time they spent together anyway, and though it was short, Aly had the solace in knowing it had been good. She'd been loved. She was loved. Twice. Some people didn't get that once.
She slid her wedding ring off her finger and she slipped it in to Peter's front pocket. Not because she was getting rid of her commitment to him, she just thought that maybe he'd like to have that with him. Then she kissed his forehead and she let out a shaky breath. In her arms, Baby Thomas leaned down and he tried to grab hold of Peter's hands, but Aly held him back. Thomas didn't understand why his daddy wouldn't play back and that made Aly feel like she might shatter in to a thousand pieces right then and there. "I'll take care of the children, Love." She whispered, because she knew that would be Peter's greatest worry. Then she stood and watched as several men came and closed the casket. They lifted it up and placed it inside the cold stone wall and closed the door behind it. Peter was resting now. And Aly had to go learn how to live all over again.
