When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

“Grandpa had been in poor health these last few years. He passed away from rectal cancer…” I trailed off, unsure of what else to say.

The coffee cup she was holding fell, and a loud crack was heard as it shattered on impact. In a panic, she got up to pick up the shards, but a waiter quickly stepped forward to handle the mess.

Sally nodded. “Yeah, let’s go. You should be resting after a full day out.”
