"Get away from me, you smell!" I snapped at him. The strong jasmine scent on him was mixed with a faint, sickly sweetness.
His face turned pale and he looked at me guiltily, "Natalie, why did you come home by yourself?"
Exhausted, I turned over, unwilling to look at him any longer.
The next morning, when I got up, the dining table was already set. Toasted bread, lukewarm milk, heart-shaped fried eggs and fruit arranged into flowers, after ten years, he had mastered all my preferences.
Josh pulled out a chair for me. "It's been a while since we've visited grandma. After breakfast, I'll go with you to see her."
My hand paused midair. Grandma had loved her grandson-in-law so much when she was alive. Now that she'd been gone for days, it was fitting for him to pay his respects.
It was also time for me to say goodbye to grandma, three more days and I'd be leaving this place.
As the car drove past Central Avenue, we passed a couple celebrating their wedding.
Seeing their blissful embrace reminded me of my wedding with Josh ten years ago.
