"I'm sorry about your loss, a lot of folk are talking about it" she said, offering her condolences.

For once, Henry cracked a smile on his face, suddenly he heard a woman's voice calling out.
"That's me! I gotta go, I'll see you around sometime?" The girl said before rushing up from the bench and beginning to run over towards the voice. She suddenly paused and looked at Henry.
"By the way, the name's Willa, what's yours?" she shouted, a fair distance between them now.

"I've never met a Henry before" Willa laughed, "Snap, I really gotta go though, bye Henry!"
Before he could make out his words, Willa was gone.
"Bye Willa." Henry smiled
