‘Now? What a bloody joke.’
They kiss goodbye before – holding hands – they face the firing squad.

Gee! Such rotten luck for them! Maybe they can get together in spirit! I’m a bit of an optimist. 😀

Wow! They finally meet the “One” and end up going in front of the firing squad together. I agree with Jessie. Maybe they will get together in life ever after. Hope so!
