“Mom,” Spencer muttered, “Aubree Marsh apologized to me. I just want to let you know.”
Then he fell into silence.
The mountain breeze disheveled his hair.
After a long while, he continued, “Mom, I want to reconcile with her. I hope you can understand.” He had thought for a long time before making the decision. “Recently, I’ve experienced life and death with Ivan Marsh together. We both have new thoughts for our lives.”
“Our lives are short. We shouldn’t be impacted by or should burden by the grudges from our last generations. We cannot do anything, either.”
With a smile, he added, “Probably, letting go is the best ending.”
“Mom, I don’t feel lonely anymore.” Spencer thought of Alfie and Diana, his smile becoming broader. “It’s so good to have a family.”
After speaking the words from his heart, Spencer left soon.
He never stayed in the cemetery long. However, he frequently visited here, about four times a month.
Meanwhile
, in Finnley’s apartment, Mya went to the couch in the living room in a white shirt with messy hair. Her body temperature had been brought down, and she looked spirited.
Finnley was sitting on the sofa while holding his arms across his chest. His eyes were closed, so Mya wondered if he was sleeping.
‘Did he sleep like this for a whole night?’
Mya didn’t see any creases on the other seat of the cough, so she could tell he hadn’t lain down.
While she was shocked and confused, Finnley snapped his eyes open. “Argh!” He was shocked by her look. Then he instantly sobered.
His yell freaked out Mya.
Glaring at him, she snapped, “What are you doing?”
She reminded him of a ghost in the horror movie--messy long hair, wearing a white shirt, and standing in silence.
