Viviana smiled as she couldn't hold back her happiness. Her cramps made her clench her jaws and she noticed that no one else was smiling.
Right! They are all mourning.
She couldn't smile anymore. Leander picked a handful of soil and placed it in her hand. She tried to kneel to put the soil in the hole, but Leander got behind her before that. He enclosed her hands in his, hence engulfing her in a hug.
Both of them poured the soil into the hole.
Leander was still hugging her from behind as Steve started shoveling more soil into the hole. It was then she noticed.
A rose inside the hole.
She was shocked and tried to look again to confirm. But the hole was already filled with soil. When she looked around and saw the same gloomy faces, and when she felt the cold hands of the man holding her, she realized something.
They won't be this sad about Evander's death. They would smile for her. But they are not.
