It was 7:00 p.m. when Maximus parked his truck in front of Valerie and Marcus’s house. He helped his daughter out, watching as she held the urn with her great–grandfather’s ashes like her life depended on it.

“Come on, let’s go. I’ll walk you in–I don’t want you getting scolded because of me,” Maximus said as if talking to a little girl.

“Oh! But… they didn’t call me?” Serenity asked, confused.

“They did… but you weren’t answering,” the maid replied as she watched Serenity walk in, still holding her father’s hand.

“Sweetheart! Oh my God! Where have you been? We’ve been searching for you everywhere! Your father even called Alden, and he’s on his way. We feared the worst…” Valerie said, rushing over the moment she saw her daughter.
