Laura laid her head against the dark mahogany paneling, covering her mouth so she wouldn’t be heard. She’d known all along that something wasn’t right, but she’d trusted him as always--trusted him to be true. There she went, thinking with her heart again.

He pitied her. That was the reasoning behind this whole charade. She could’ve laughed if she wasn’t so hurt. She could’ve fallen on the floor in hysterics. She gasped softly, sinking to the carpet in her grief. There were no hysterics, there would be none.

She clamped her lips shut and began to pry the ring from her finger. She shuddered as it resisted her tug, but gave it her all and it finally came away free. She let it slip from her grasp gently and listened as it landed on the floor. Just an empty sound, just like her cries.

Slowly, with care to be quiet, she came to her feet and walked out off the Haunted Star. Then, out of his life. Again.

She didn’t want his pity. She wanted his love.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them. Tracy had his heart now and they could never go back.

But the love of Luke & Laura would forever live on in her memories, even if that was the only place it survived.

Only the echo of crashing waves drowned out her tears on the launch to Wyndamere.
