Chapter 15

“We gather today as a hurting community, grieving the loss of Skylar”

It was another strange day. The air felt stiflingly hot and unbearable as we gathered in the cemetery around Sky’s grave. Audrey’s sobs punctuated the solemn ceremony. It was sunny and yet there was a light drizzle which wasn’t enough to cool us down, only to make our clothes stick to our skin even more.

It reminded Emelie of her dream. It had been rainy in her dream too. It was strange for her to see Austin standing there, after dreaming about him. She knew that she shouldn’t try to speak with him here, though. She didn’t want anybody gossiping about him. And anyway, she tried to remind herself, there was no them. He had made that clear the last time we were in his car.
