The phone lay on the bedside table. Emily had forgotten it. The notifications had piled up. She saw the document title, "The Secret Garden of Leo." She hesitantly tapped the app.

She felt a sudden urge to embrace him, to hold him tight. But he wasn't there. She gently closed the phone and turned off the light. The room was silent, and her heart felt heavy.
