The frozen grass crunched
beneath his feet. But he hardly noticed. A light dusting of snow
covered everything, but the cold did not penetrate him. He could feel
no cold. He felt nothing.
He knelt in the snow, and traced a name
on a granite heart. His tears joined the sleet. Even now, on what
might have been their fifth wedding anniversary, two years since her
death, the pain had not subsided. He no longer saw her, he no longer
felt her skin against his own. All he had left to cling to was a
granite stone. The scarlet roses he was holding fell from his grasp,
and lay just below her name... Emily Bowen-Quartermaine.
He lay there on her grave, his tears ouring out anew. His chest heaving. She was gone, she was really gone.
Finally he composed him self and wearily rose to his feet, shaking snow from his clothes, all the while keeping his eyes trained on her name. HOlding that little connection that he still had. And a hand gently touched his shoulder. He turned towards the person unsure of who would be at the cemetary in this weather... other than himself. His jaw fell as he shook his head trying to figure out how he could be seeing who was standing before him.
