Looking at the photo, the blurry images in her mind regained clarity.

It was a sunny Friday afternoon.

Josephine waited for Lewis at his high school entrance. She waited for hours, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Eventually, they approached the owner and bought the dolls.

She handed the bigger doll to Lewis. He accepted it and asked, smiling, “Are you giving this to me?”

She shook her head and pointed at the doll, signing, “This is you.”
