"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

A Lifetime With You

The sun was up high by the time both of them left the cemetery. Alex helped Hazel into the passenger's seat and slid into the driver's seat. When he put the keys into the ignition, Alex noticed the way Hazel was looking at him and turned to look at her.

Alex let out a chuckle. "What is it?"

"Do you have to go to the office after this?" Hazel asked.

"No. I told my dad that I won't be coming in today," Alex said. He grasped her hand and planted a kiss on her wrist. "Today, I'm going to accompany you. What do you have in mind?"

Hazel lowered her head for a few seconds, then spoke, "Do you want to come home with me? Not the place where I'm staying with my uncle and Auntie Edith, but the place where I stayed with my parents."

Alex watched the person beside him and nodded. "Alright."
