“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’s voice trembled as she apologized profusely for her carelessness.
The waiter hurriedly shook his head and tried to calm her down. “It’s really nothing, ma’am. I just need to clean this up.”
I stretched out my hand to help her up, not knowing how to comfort her. I knew that her apology was not actually meant for the waiter but her deceased father.
Soon enough, Sally was able to regain her composure. Ever the elegant woman that she was, she was able to recover quite quickly from the earlier mishap.
However, her expression was no longer as composed as it was when we entered earlier. Even though she was smiling, it was strained.
“It’s getting late, Aunt Sally. Let’s head back.” I figured that after this revelation, she’d likely not be in the mood to continue shopping.
Sally nodded. “Yeah, let’s go. You should be resting after a full day out.”
