Blackberries
Ted loved blackberries, and Andromeda could never figure out why. To her, they always conjured memories of choking down bitter blackberry pie every Christmas, just because they were the Blacks. According to her mother, it was a recipe that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Narcissa was always sure that sugar hadn't been invented back then.
But Ted loved them. He remembered the blackberry muffins that his mother used to make for him, and eating them with his cousins in summer until they were all sick. He loved the little blackberry bush that he planted in the garden.
When Ted died, Andromeda burned down the bush.
She never regretted it.
