EDWARD: Oh God...
VERA: (soothing him) Shhhh.
She picks Geoffrey’s letter up, from the side.
VERA: I found this in your jacket last night... from Geoffrey.
Edward smiles at this.
VERA: I didn’t read it.
EDWARD: I’ll read it to you. I want you to hear his voice.
Vera nods. Edward opens the letter.
EDWARD: (reading) We walked back to barracks last night, all of us thoroughly exhausted. The setting sun had lit up the water in the shell holes so they looked like pools of gold - with a river of gold, and purple clouds fleeting in the sky. And I felt a presence there, greater than all this... such peace, Edward. I thought of you, dear friend, and I knew I’d see you again... either in this world, or the hereafter.
