Taking a glance at Benny, she gently placed a bunch of Lilies at the tombstone, her expression turning thoughtful as she bowed respectfully.
Benny, crouching down beside her, wiped raindrops from the stone and introduced, “Mom, this is Flossie, my girlfriend.”
Flossie, hearing the tenderness in his voice, looked again at the photo. Her eyes softened, touched by the moment.
