For the second time in two days, Elijah felt the weight of the world melt off his shoulders.  At this rate, he would soon be floating above the ground.  Elijah smiled, a stray thought intruding onto this perfect scene - all those songs that talked about floating on air, he now realized what they actually meant.  Elijah reached down and tucked Maddi's clean panties into what remained of his pocket.  He then found her shirt as she pulled on the dirty ones.  Holding her shirt to her, he was for a moment at a loss for words, then like a dam breaking loose his emotions found their voice.<br/><br/>"Dearest Maddi, I would be honored to accompany you anywhere.<em>Yes, I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more, just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to end up at your door.  Dah da dat da...(Dah da dat da)...Dah da dat da...(Dah da dat da)...Dah da dat datta dat datta dat datta dat da dah"</em>Elijah must have been in a good mood, because it took more than a lot to make him sing.<br/><br/>Elijah held Maddi's hand like a high school sweetheart as they traveled down the well beaten path to the lagoon.
