A/N: Chapter title contains a lyric from "The Last Farewell" by Roger Whittaker -- and, to kill two birds A/Ns with one stone, Part 2 contains the lyric that follows this one.

You'll see I tried something different with the POV, in both parts/chapters. It still feels weird to me, but I hope you guys like it :)
