Innkeeper
You never really had a relationship with Eliza on any romantic level; it's probably just the "idea of Eliza" that's getting to you. Your life is probably going to change a lot in the near future so your mind is starting to look for loopholes to stay.
But you shake off these feelings. Your life is going good right now, why jeopardize it with poor judgment and fear of the unknown? You overcame hardship to get where you are now. To invite more drama when it isn't necessary would be foolish.
You head home and when Cindy is finished with her classes you take her out for romantic dinner to reaffirm your dedication of your future plans together. This seems to please her greatly.
During your last remaining year in Klyton, you don't visit your family's inn anymore as a safety precaution. You don't need doubt plaguing your thoughts again. You do make one more visit to your mom before you do eventually leave though.
Thanks to Cindy's family connections in the Delantium Kingdom, your job at the Sivak hospital is more or less secured (Obviously hers is as well), though they were in need of more medical professionals anyway. The hospital there is a little newer and understaffed, so for a while you're working a little more than you usually did, but over time your workload becomes manageable.
Your life in general plays out rather mundanely, you end up living in a nice area and eventually you have a couple of children. No major problems for you ever truly crop up though.
As for the old inn, your mother eventually does sell it a few years after you initially left Klyton and retires to Teckleville. On one of your family visits you ask who bought the place and she says Wendy ended up taking it over, which doesn't surprise you. Curiosity gets the better of you and you ask your mother for more information on your old co-workers. Your mother mentions that Rita quit about a few months before she sold the place. Apparently she finally snagged a guy rich enough to settle down with. Flameflower took her place as hostess and she, along with her sister Sunshine still work there. As for Eliza your mother says she was still working as the head barmaid there.
"All seems like a lifetime ago eh?" your mother says.
"Yeah. I suppose so." You answer a little preoccupied.
"Is there something wrong son?"
"Oh no. Nothing wrong, just momentarily lost in thought."
You don't really explain anymore than that, but your mother senses that you're playing "what could've been" again. She doesn't address it directly, but does mention of how successful you are and how you've got a good life. She also mentions of how it's everything that your father and her could've hoped for you. This truth snaps you out of it, and you never dwell on the past again.
You live out the rest of your life in Sivak working as a physician until you decide to retire. You grow old with Cindy, your children eventually have their own families, and one day you fall asleep and don't wake up.
Yes, it was a good life overall, but your years as an innkeeper were definitely the ones that helped achieve it.
