The voice came out a second later, for a fact it is practically my fault that Ms. Dorothy had her misunderstandings. My worried face grew into fear. Ms. Dorothy's ferocious eyes make me somehow unable to utter a word.

But beneath her moist eyes and bittersweet smile, there should've been a better place for them."It had been a long time since I've visited my hometown, and I could feel how much I'd enjoy going for a walk in this humid air if it hadn't been for this opportunity."As she reached the grave, crystal-like tears fell down Irene's face.
