She continued to run her pie shop after he left. The customers noticed the change in her though. Her eyes were distant and glazed over now. She had become a whole new person. He had been gone for a few years now. But he had changed her forever. She never smiled. She was always thinking about him. She would even accept advances from the men in her shop. They would have their fun with her and leave the money on a table on their way out. Even these many encounters with the men in her shop couldn't change her. She was hollow. There was nothing left inside of her. She thought and acted upon her heart; now that her heart was gone she had nothing. She was empty and nothing could fill her up again. He would never come back and she wasn't strong enough to go find him. She was alone by the sea. Her beautiful sea was of no comfort anymore. It was an unwanted reminder os how she ruined everything. She went into the sea one day and never returned. Her sea was now her home forever more.
