The Pretty Redhead.
That's what Collins would call her, just to get Roger mad. Roger had explained many, many times before that she was 'his' pretty redhead, Not Collins'. This would only provoke April to go sit on Tom's lap.

April wanted to marry Roger, but she never brought it up to him. Roger was always chasing his 'next big chance' and, really, to Collins thinking, they already were married. They only had eyes for each other.
And now she was gone.
Collins stood next to April's grave; Mark had dragged Roger away earlier. He pulled out a permanent marker and kneeled on the ground.
On the back of the grave he wrote in tiny letters:
Roger's Pretty Redhead
