On Tuesday afternoon, Alice and I stood beside an open grave as a small coffin was lowered into the ground. We were the only ones there to see her laid to rest beside her brother in the family plot.
As I dropped a white rose down onto the coffin, I heard a giggle from behind a nearby headstone. Polly waved at me. I waved back.
Alice waved too. "I suppose she wants one of us to read her a story tonight."
"Yeah. I found several boxes of children's books when I was looking around the attic. I have a feeling, you and I will be doing a lot of reading in the future."
"I don't mind." Alice smiled. "She's like my little sister. I always wanted a little sister."
"You had better move in, Alice." I looked at her. "I'm not going to be able to read all those books by myself."
"Thanks. I'd love to." Alice looked back at where Polly had been standing. "I think that was her plan. She didn't want any of us to be lonely."
I nodded. "I think so too."
