Jacob and the expected guest PART2

With every weak step from Clawford the Guide offered their arm and in the other a lantern illuminating gold. Leaving the Mansion, they continued down the gardens of Clawfords home. With every step he felt younger and the Guide continued to accompany him. Passing by his childhood, his adolescents, his successes, his regrets, loves- they reach the end of the estate. The Guide stops, still arm in arm with Clawford, and looks at him.
"We are here Jacob." The Guide says.
Clawford looks in front of him then back at the Guide, giving him a strong squeeze before letting go.
"Guide. I've had a brilliant life, one full of hopes, dreams, love, regrets,pain."
"Indeed you have."
"I've said good bye to everyone I wanted to say goodbye to, but will that be enough? Have I smoldered the fire before I left or could someone else do that for me?"
The guide leans closer to Clawford's face illuminated by the lantern.
"Jacob, no one ever thinks they did enough and no one ever will. We must be content with the enough we did do. the impressions we've made, the things we've experienced, the people we've met along the way." The Guide says planting a kiss on Clawford's forehead.
"I will miss you Jacob."
Clawford touched the spot that the Guide had planted the kiss then nodded. Turning to the gates he carries on.
