Chapter 11: Epilogue
Roger stood next to the grave with a dozen roses in his arms. Franklin was carrying flowers as well as the other six hundred people that had shown up for the funeral of Paradigm City's most beloved philanthropist. There were people weeping as the priest said the final blessing and tossed a handful of dirt into the grave. Roger handed one elderly woman his handkerchief and waited silently behind his mirrored sunglasses.
Hours went by before everyone left and the caretakers filled in the grave, but he waited patiently for the moment alone with her. Roger set the roses on the fresh grave and kneeled next to it, touching the white marbel grave marker that was decorated with the statue of a woman sporting a pair of feathered angel wings. A pang of fresh grief stung his heart, and he found his eyes getting moist as the face of the statue resembled the beautiful woman that had so quickly entered then left his life.
He finally stood up as his watch chimed five pm. He wanted to go to the sea shore, he had a sunset to watch for Amelia.
