章 83: One bite- Part 1

Both Katie and her cousin Ralph sat in front of the graves of their families in the cemetery.

It was a quiet morning, with the birds in the distant chirping and the sun shining bright in the sky. Katie caught hold of her dress when a breeze swept past them picking up the dried twigs and leaves along with the dirt of mud with it.

She caught sight of a woman with a little girl at one side of the cemetery. The little girl had her hands joined near her chest, eyes closed as she prayed for the one in the grave. As they passed by the woman bowed to which Katie did the same from a far distance. Though she didn't know them or hadn't striked a conversation before, there were some people she often met in this place to offer their thoughts and prayers whom she had got familiar with as months had passed during her stay in Valeria.

Her prayers were quick and therefore she walked towards a particular grave while giving her cousin time and space to mourn his parents.
