Chapter Fifteen: Seeking Solace
They had an unspoken agreement that they always met every other day by the bridge. What they did after that changed, sometimes they took a walk, sometimes they simply said hello.
They did get along. Her quiet patience offset his irritable nature, and he liked to hope she found some comfort in his presence as well.
But she didn't meet him at the bridge that day.
He found her more easily than his first try. By the memorial stone.
"I'm glad you're here." she said, and then without warning, threw her arms around him and began to cry softly.
