A Visit in the Springtime

“Nice day, isn’t it?” Kitty asked, staring up at the sky. The warm breeze pushed a wayward lock of hair into her eyes, which she gently tucked behind her ear. “I could definitely do with a few more like these,”

Her mouth lifted up in a tiny smile as she glanced downwards. “Is it just as nice where you are?”

The headstone was silent as ever. Kitty sighed and leaned over, resting her cheek against the cool marble.

“I hope it’s peaceful, at least,” she murmured into the stone. Another small breeze sent a soft flicker of wind against her face, like fingertips lightly brushing against her forehead.

More peaceful than where you are, surely, it seemed to say, playfully.

Kitty’s smile widened.
