A week later, Aiden and I finalized our divorce.

After that, I resigned from my job.

I took my daughter's urn to Gold Coast, Mount Fuji and the Prairie.

These were the three places she had always dreamed of visiting. I had promised her that after her SAT results came out, I would take her to these destinations.

On the Gold Coast, I watched the sunrise over the ocean with my "daughter."

At Mount Fuji, we admired the sea of clouds from the summit.

On the Prairie, we witnessed thousands of horses galloping.

After fulfilling my daughter's wishes, I returned to my hometown of Maplewood and interred her in Maplewood Cemetery, which is encircled by a maple forest.

She adored the rustling sound of the wind through the maple leaves.

She always preferred a tranquil environment.

By chance, Maplewood Cemetery was seeking a grave keeper. Despite my impressive qualifications, the director was perplexed, "With your background, you should be applying to a major corporation."
