“Now, my house hasn’t been sold. I’m not due to leave for a couple of hours, but, I’ll tell you what, I’ll leave the key for you, under the mat.”
She gave them each a hug.
“Thanks for making Emmett happy, the last couple of weeks. I’ll never forget the looks on your faces, that first night when you arrived.”
Rose pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and patted her eyes.
She pulled Tatia into a tight embrace, again, and slipped something into her pocket.
“Don’t check your pocket until I’m gone.”
“What?” Tatia asked.
“Thanks, Rose,” said Jack and Bruce.
“Bye,” said Mira.
They watched her walk down the street, and make a right, heading to her house.
“Well, what now?” asked Mira, leaning on Jack for support.
“I think we should start a band,” said Jack.
“Come on,” said Tatia. “Let’s get some burgers.”
Tatia and Bruce crossed the street. Jack and Mira followed closely.
“What did Rose give you?” asked Bruce.
“I don’t know.”
She felt in her pocket and pulled out the locket.
