"You're leaving?" Rio asked as Miles grabbed his car keys from the kitchen counter that early sunny Thursday morning,

"Yeah, I'll be back soon" He answered in a soft voice before he walked out of the kitchen,

"Be safe" Rio called out after him,

"I will" He whispered as he unlocked the door, stepping into the scorching sunlight,

His brows furrowed as he looked down,

Eyes narrowing at the present stationed at his doorstep,

He picked it up in confusion, scanning the huge bouquet of a hundred roses,

He went back into the house, carrying it into the kitchen,

"What's that?" Rio asked,

"I saw it on our steps, I just guessed it was yours, from an admirer, maybe" He shrugged as he set it on the counter,

"I don't think so" Rio smiled,

Obviously she knew something about this,

His eyes caught a white envelope safely tucked away between the flowers,

He picked it up, breaking the seal before taking out the neatly folded paper in it,

When he unfolded it, he recognized the handwriting immediately and sighed, refolding it,

He walked out of the house,

Sure, he wanted to read the letter but not in front of his mother,

So he stood just outside the house and unfolded it again, his cold eyes scanning the contents of the letter,

His face softened and a smile playfully tugged at his lips when he was done reading it,

Miles was suddenly in a good mood,

Nevaeh sat on a garden bench beneath the large oak three,

The happy chirps of birds and rustling of leaves dancing with the wind filtered into her ears,

She played with the hem of her top as her voice floated into the air as audible whispers,

Eyes snapped shut peacefully,

Communicating with her parents buried together, side by side, at the cemetery,

"I wish the both of you were here, you'd know what to do" She sighed just before she felt someone sit beside her,

She opened her eyes, looking at the ground, catching the sight of Nike shoes,

"Hey"

"Miles" Nevaeh whispered,

"You good?" He asked as his voice dropped to a whisper,

"Yeah, you?" She answered, refusing to look up and meet his eyes,

Miles let out a deep sigh, which forced Nevaeh to raise her head,
