I used to trip over baby toys instead of old newspapers. The sound of Bella's echoing wail or laugh would resonate throughout the house; now, the only sound I heard, other than the television, was the hum of the empty refrigerator, which would never again hold Renée's homemade leftovers. Nothing moved, except me.

I sprawled across the dusty sofa and reminisced, remembering the few happy times Renee and I had together, and my beautiful, little Bella, who shared my curls and mahogany eyes. The thought made me smile, though it was fleeting.

Because they were gone, and time was stale.
