Shortlived Happiness
The mention of Jennifer made Benjamin return to his senses. He forced himself to smile and took his eyes off the box of things I'd couriered to him. Then, he followed Hector to the hotel room where Jennifer was resting.
Hector had even told Benjamin to buy a bouquet for Jennifer. They hadn't told anyone—they wanted to surprise her. However, when they arrived at the hotel room, they heard the sound of someone flicking on a lighter.
The room door was ajar, so they heard the sound loud and clear. As far as Benjamin remembered, Jennifer had always been gentle and naive. She also had late-stage lung cancer, but there she was, smoking a cigarette.
