Finding that tombstone made him understand that the girl in his photo does not exist, she is dead. But the turn of history when meeting a real girl with the same name makes us think of reincarnation. Will Elizabeth Enright be the reincarnation of the girl of 1865? Well, I'm not so sure about reincarnations in other people, but since this is fiction, I'm glad that James has found the woman of his dreams and can be happy. Thanks, @johnjgeddes I really liked your story.
