Ellie remembered what Lisa said and pointed at the photo she just kept back. "Jasper's grandfather?"
"Yes. They were very close. It was hard on Jasper when he passed away.", Lisa sighed and gently touched frame of the photo with Jasper and his grandfather.
"I like to keep the photos arranged like this because it shows me how happy Jasper used to be, and like this I understand how much he loved his grandpa. See?" Lisa pointed at the photo which is two photos away in line. "This one is taken after he lost his grandfather. And he lost his smile as well."
Ellie came closer and observed photos. True. After that one where Lisa pointed, Jasper is not smiling anymore. On every next photo he is mostly serious, aloof and that visible childishly-adorable innocence is gone.
Ellie paused and looked at Lisa. "You said… YOU like to keep the photos arranged like this?"
Happy Saturday!
