Alexis squatted down, dusted off the photo on the tombstone, and spoke softly. "It's still chilly these days. But soon, spring will arrive, and this place will be filled with your favorite flowers. Birds will sing to you, but I wonder if you can hear them."

She felt a pang of sadness.

Calvin had departed so young, without experiencing marriage.

Alexis stood quietly beside the tombstone. In the bright sunlight, her wedding ring gleamed on her finger, matching the one worn by Leonel standing beside her.

Though she didn't explicitly mention her marriage, Calvin would have known since she came with Leonel.
