Summary: Idgie pays Ruth a visit
Hands, worn with age and browned by the sun, hitched up the rough denim of the overalls as Idgie squatted down. She could hear the rumbling of the old truck motor in the distance as Julian waited for her. It was the only sound in the once bustling town. That was years ago, though. Now, it was nothing more than a ghost. Idgie smirked to herself. She knew a thing or two about ghosts. Sucking in a lungful of air, she plucked the jar of fresh honey from her pocket and gingerly set it next to the glistening tombstone. Her eyes raked over the letters carefully carved into the stone. She reached out a wrinkled finger and stroked the long blades of grass sticking up near it. If she closed her eyes, she could almost pretend like it was long silky hair she was touching. If she tried hard enough, she could recall the way the brunette locks would smell of rosewater and talcum powder. If she lived for a thousand years, she'd never forget that smell. She'd woken up every morning for years with her nose buried in it. It was one of the things she never wanted to forget. As she opened her eyes, she swallowed thickly and plastered a charming grin on her face, "Hey, Ruth."
