• Cheek Kiss

It had taken everyone by surprise, the passing of Bella. But of course, out of everyone, it had managed to sink and hook deeper into Jack. From what she has heard from sources, the two weren’t doing so well, on their marriage. So even more, she imagined, that Jack would be grieving. 

There was an open casket out in front of them. She sat next to Beverly, as family and friends went by the deceased and said a prayer. Crawford was in the front, bend forward with his forehead almost resting near his knees. 

The brunette rose and moved to the front of the aisle. She had said a prayer before, but her intent wasn’t on visiting the dead. 

Words couldn’t express the sorrow she felt for him. Instead, she leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss onto his cheek. 

“I’m sorry, Jack.”
