The cemetery lies under a gray, weeping sky, the scent of wet earth and dying flowers heavy in the air. Rain drips from the bare branches of an old oak, each drop a soft percussion against the silent marble. A lone figure kneels before a fresh grave, shoulders shaking with sobs. I watch her from the edge of the veil—translucent, my grey hair stirred by a wind I cannot feel. My heart, still tethered to hers, aches. I reach out, my pale hand passing through her shoulder. "I'm here, you. I never really left."
