Scarlett walked around the house for the last time. Bally Hara had become her home since she had moved in. Now she and Rhett were moving back to America. She went downstairs. Rhett waited by the door with his daughter Cat in his arms.

"Time to leave my darling.", he told her lovingly.

"I can't get over how much this place means to me.", she replied.

He put his other arm around her and they went outside and into the carriage. The driver pulled away. Scarlett looked back one final time. Rhett noticed the tears coming down her eyes and gave her a reasuring kiss.

Several days later they arrived in Boston off a ship. They went and checked into a hotel. Scarlett and Rhett put Cat to sleep that night and stared at her beautiful face. Soon they both retired to bed. They wanted to get as much rest as they could before they left for Georgia the following morning.

Scarlett woke up in Rhett's arms. She kissed his neck and chest until he woke up. He stared up into her brown eyes. He kissed her lips and and cheeks. He missed loving her.

They got up and dressed for the day. They got on a train and went to Georgia. A few days later they were in a carriage riding out to her beloved Tara. Soon it came into view. She gazed at it with love.
