JUNE 11, 1861

 Tyson hadn't seen Louise in days. He had told her that he was leaving. He had wanted her to go with him, but he couldn't ask her to run off with him. Besides who knows maybe someday he would return. His eyes darted back and forth hoping to see Louise, but she wasn't there. Only Richard, Desiree and Ivy were there to see them off. He felt guilty that they would be out of work until Walter found a new owner, but there wasn't anything he could do about it. He had tried to get Tally to buy the saloon, but Tally didn't want it. He didn't have the time right now to go into another business. His family came first. Tyson could understand that. Actually that's why Kimberly and Tyson were leaving Dreamville -- family.

Their aunt Diana and their older sister Helen needed them. They really weren't going for Diana's sake. It was more for their sister. She had written them telling Kimberly all about the problems she was having, so Kimberly had decided to leave and go to help her. Tyson couldn't let his sister go alone. He felt obligated to help, too. So here they were leaving Dreamville to go help Helen, a sister and aunt that they hadn't seen in ten years.

Tyson waved at Desiree, Richard and Ivy. Kimberly placed her hand on Tyson's shoulder. She knew that he was hurting, and she felt sorry for him. She waved at the trio on the platform and hollered goodbye to them as the train started rolling out of town.

Desiree, Richard and Ivy waved and hollered goodbye, too. They would miss their employers and their jobs. For none of them knew if the new saloon owners would rehire them. That is if or when the saloon got new owners. Ivy headed back to the boarding house, Desiree headed back to the hotel, and Richard headed back to the saloon. Even though there was a closed sign outside of the saloon, Richard had permission from Walter to continue to live there until there was a new owner. Then it would be up to the new owner if Richard continued to be the bartender or not.
