Roots part five

Oh did she cry.

At first she was numb. The feeling hadn't entirely hit her when she was told. Then slowly it crept onto her. He was never coming back.

Her parents did their best to comfort her. Her little brother offered to do her chores for a month. Through it all she didn't say a word. At the end of the day she pulled from her purse a single photograph of them together, taken four years ago.

How long it had been.
