"Edmund shows Brooke the engagement ring that Maria returned to him. Edmund loves Brooke, but he is in love with Maria, and wants to start a new life with her. Brooke knows that she always held something back from Edmund, and Edmund has been doing the same thing to Maria because of Brooke, and he doesn't want to live that way anymore because Maria wants to share her whole life with Edmund. Brooke and Edmund share a tender and soulful good-bye."
