Varg's house appeared the same as the last time I visited. Only one thing stood out; the deafening silence.
I knew Roxy was no longer around. However, there was another family member who should still be there.
"Varg, where's your wife?"
"She's dead," he answered very quickly. Then, he turned around, ducked his head down, and broke down in tears.
"I'm sorry to hear that," I said, offering my condolences.
Right after hearing my words, he lifted his chin and wiped his dry cheek.
I cleared my throat and asked, "Where did you find it?"
He opened a large cupboard and said, "Under the bedding. This is where I keep Sana's bed."
I pulled out the bedding and inspected the bottom of the cupboard. Nothing seemed out of place, except for the condition of both pieces of furniture. They looked new.
"When did you buy these?"
"Buy what?"
I placed my hand on the bedding and the cupboard lid. "These."
