Old Faithful
“Happy Valentine’s Day, pet.”

Robbie carefully arranges the long-stemmed roses in the vase, adding a couple of ferns. The scent’s good this year; Val would love these.

He stands, resting his hand on the gravestone. “Twelve years, love. Hard to believe - sometimes it feels like only yesterday. Still miss you. But then, reckon I always will.”

When the church bell tolls the hour, he murmurs his goodbyes and leaves the graveyard. A lanky figure joins him, fingers curling around his - a brand-new part of his Valentine’s Day ritual.

“Breakfast?”

“Yeah.” Somehow, he’s sure Val is happy he’s found love again.
