The sky was gray today, with a drizzle falling from the first light of dawn. However, it was perfect weather to visit the deceased at the graveyard.

Bella and Justin visited Mary again. They even went so far as to tidy up the gravestone and add flowers.

Though Mary was buried six feet underground, the couple's attentiveness and longing would accompany her to her grave. "Bella and I avenged you, Mom. Shannon's been handed the death penalty. You can finally rest in peace after 20 years." Justin took Bella's hand and held it tightly. "Justice has been served. Rest easy."

The couple put their heads down in front of the gravestone.

Footsteps drew close.

"It's Grandpa Nigel!" Bella cocked her head and beamed.

Justin hid his emotions behind his eyes.

Several feet away, Matt pushed Nigel, who was in a wheelchair.

A bouquet of white lilies rested on Nigel's lap. They were Mary's favorite. Before her passing, Mary always made sure Tideview Manor was decorated with fresh lilies.

Even Nigel, Mary's father-in-law, was aware of her preference. Yet Gregory, the husband, had no idea.

Oh, the irony.
