Teddy keeps a box of objects that are Allison's


The box sat under her bed still after all these years. There was a necklace, that had a swift pendent, and most importantly 2 dried flowers. A sweet Allison (as they were called) and a small rose that Allison had slipped behind her ear on her last morning alive. Owen walked into their bedroom seeing her grabbing the box before sitting back on the bed.

"It's September 11th, she died today. At this moment in 2001 the second tower was falling around her." Teddy sobbed. Owen sat down next to her on the bed putting a comforting arm around her shoulder. He had no words; no words could comfort her today. Owen placed a hand on the back of her head and pulled it into his shoulder bringing her into a hug. He dragged his hand back and forth through her hair, he loosened his grip, and they rested their foreheads together. "I'll never forget you Allison" she whispered pressing her lips against Owens.

"Tell me about her and the box." Owen whispered also talking normally seemed disrespectful.

"She loved birds. She used to wear this neckless every day, and these flowers are called Sweet Allisons'." Teddy said smiling at the dried flower in her hands. "And this flower she gave me the day she died; I wouldn't stay in bed for pancakes, but she tucked this behind my ear." Teddy said carful replacing the precious objects back in the box and putting it back where she pulled it out from. There it would stay, till next year.
