She looked at him tenderly.“How can I help?” Her voice hadn’t changed. She hadn’t changed. Her red hair still waved at the back of her neck in a swift and calm motion. Perfectly defined, held up with golden clips. Her mother’s, if he remembered well. “I was looking for Mr. Roger.”, he said. Her cheeks weighted down and, as she retained a sigh, her eyes grew warmer. “I am afraid Mr. Roger has passed away."
