Drabble 3/31 – prompts: funeral, dismiss, grateful

[bluecastle]

Jack stood there, far in the background, under a shady tree. He watched the simple funeral service. He watched as the mourners paid their respects and left. He knelt next to the gravesite as dusk was shadowing the tombstones of the little cemetery. He started when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and looked up to see Ianto standing next to him, holding a white rose.

 

“May I?” Ianto asked, gesturing towards the grave.

 

Jack stood, and took a step back before nodding once.

 

“To lost loves,” Ianto said, as he knelt and placed his rose upon Estelle’s grave.
