Amelie stood up after placing the bouquet of white lilies over Ravenna's grave. She joined her hands together, praying silently for Ravenna's soul. Gabriel watched her, deeply moved, and did the same.
As they both stood praying, Amelie spoke softly, "I don't know when we will come here again, but I will keep my promise to you. Just stay in peace wherever you are, Grandma."
'I never felt the pain of anyone's departure before this. I was never connected with any elder the way I got with you,' Gabriel thought with grief. 'You were not even related to me, yet you taught me things I never knew I needed to learn. You helped me and brought me closer to the truth about why I faced such hardships in love, not caring about your own life. I will keep Carlos as my sworn brother by my side.'
"Gabriel, shall we go?" Amelie asked softly, finding his hand and intertwining their fingers to offer comfort.
