Alisa carefully ladled some chicken soup into a bowl and handed it to Jason. "What about February 14th? That's when we plan to move Will's grave. My dad consulted a fortune teller, and they said it would be good for Isla's future." Daniel and Malia often had health issues and were no strangers to hospital visits throughout the year. Recently, Malia had a dream where her son appeared to her, asking for his grave to be moved.

Jason's face was unreadable. "Whatever you decide is fine," he said. After all, he was an outsider to the Brown family. He had no say in their plans to move their son's grave.
