She gently placed the daisies down and departed in silence.

‘Throughout the day, Rena was overcome by a sense of melancholy.

When she gave birth to Alexis, she had grappled with severe depression. It took a year of medication before she fully recovered. Today’s visit to the cemetery had stirred up old emotions, dampening her spirits.

At noon, Vera invited Rena for an afternoon tea.

Rena agreed, considering the offer. She arrived at their designated spot, a place where they often savored their coffee.

Vera was already there, waiting.

As Rena entered, Vera waved her hand excitedly.

Rena settled into her seat, her gaze fixed on Vera, elegantly dressed in a white business suit. “You look wonderful. It seems your career is flourishing.”

Vera sighed. “I’m merely riding on Roscoe’s coattails.

You know me. I wouldn’t succeed based on my own merits. I’m involved in some minor tasks at the company, mainly to keep an eye on Roscoe and prevent him from making any rash decisions.”

Vera, too, found it surreal.

What an extraordinary coincidence!

Out of the blue, a child who bore a resemblance to Rena’s daughter materialized and that child had no mother,

Vera regarded it as unreliable. With earnestness, she advised, “You must be missing Alexis terribly, Rena.

Perhaps you should consider meeting other men.

There might be someone suitable for you in this vast world.”
