Louisa stopped her car right at a flower shop slowly. She was wearing her formal black suit at the moment. With a pair of matching black glasses, Louisa started to get out of her car. Then walked slowly into the flower shop there. Louisa took off her glasses and put them into the small bag she was carrying in the palm of her right hand. Immediately she immediately looked around at the contents of the flower shop right now. Looking at every inch that can be seen in the flower shop. She immediately began to choose the flowers she would buy right now. Until her eyes began to stop and stare right at the bouquet of white lilies there.
Louisa also walked closer to a woman who was a flower shopkeeper there. "Excuse me, I want to buy a bouquet of those white lilies." he said slowly.
A female flower shopkeeper immediately smiled and nodded her head in a slow motion. "Alright, please wait a moment..." she muttered and then immediately went to prepare Louisa's order there.
Louisa took a deep breath. There was a heavy feeling she was currently feeling. It's so hard to even explain. She was never good at expressing all the things she felt. And maybe it was one of the stupidest things she'd ever done in her life. Louisa watched the shopkeeper who was very nimble in preparing her order at a special table. A bouquet of lilies was in the guard's hand, and she began assembling them by giving them paper and other decorations. Louisa averted her gaze by looking at the small watch that was attached to her left wrist. Exactly ten in the morning.
"Excuse me, this order has been completed." The shopkeeper's voice immediately startled Louisa who immediately raised her head and looked at the guard.
Right above the counter, the bouquet of lilies Louisa ordered was located. Louisa immediately put a faint smile on her face. "Uh yes. Thank you How much in total?" Louisa opened her small bag and took out a wallet.
"Five dollars in total." The shopkeeper answered quickly and smiled back at Louisa there.
Louisa immediately took out five dollars from her purse, and handed it over to the shopkeeper there. 'Thank you very much…" She mumbled as he took the bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you and see you later." replied the guard as Louisa started walking out of the flower shop, towards her car.
Louisa got into her car and put the bag and flower bouquet to her side. Then started driving his car at a moderate speed towards the cemetery area. Louisa wants to visit Jane's grave. And somehow Louisa felt that there was a calm that she would get when she got there.

Louisa walked slowly when she arrived at the cemetery area. The atmosphere is quiet and cool, really makes Louisa feel calm. And that she couldn't deny. Every footstep she took, felt heavier with another feeling she couldn't explain as it started to feel in her heart right now. Louisa was getting closer to Jane's grave which was right in the middle of the burial area. Louisa slowly suddenly started to frown when she saw a new bouquet of flowers that was on Jane's grave there. Soon Louisa stopped and was silent there. Staring at the bouquet of white lilies by Jane's grave.
Then Louisa started to squat there, and placed the bouquet of flowers she was carrying right to the other side of the bouquet there. Louise was silent. There was a rumble in his heart. And she was well aware of it. Slowly, Louisa reached her left arm towards Jane's gravestone and rubbed it gently. "I missed you so much, Jane." She muttered slowly.
'I really miss you. I know the last time we met, it was a dark time for us. And I'm really sorry, because I can no longer talk to you directly. Jane, you are my best friend. One of the best. I know, if I haven't been of much help or anything to you all this time. I just wish it would be different now. Henry and I will fight for you. To be able to get justice for your death. We promise. Sooner or later things will get better, and... you will get justice. At least, that's the price I have to pay for what happened to you, Jane. Even at the last moment you still think of me. Then how can I not give you what you deserve…"
Louisa was silent for a moment after that. Slightly lowered her head to gaze at the first bouquet of lilies. Curiosity entered her mind for a moment. Louisa reached out her right hand and took the bouquet of flowers there. Louisa looked at the bouquet, and found that there was a small note inside the bouquet. Louisa took the small note from inside the bouquet of flowers there. A small, neatly handwritten note. Louisa frowned, and began to read the contents of the small note.
When darkness comes, there is always a complementary light. I don't want to lose every moment we've had. And I lost my chance to save you. I also lost time, so I can't express my feelings for you. Sorry, I love you, Jane. J.
The little note contained someone's remorse for Jane. 'I wonder who these notes and bouquets come from. I can't just ask the grave keeper. A lot of people came here, and he probably didn't see that person coming to Jane's grave. But if you look at the contents, it's like a love letter that didn't arrive. Jane... I don't remember if Jane had a boyfriend all this time. Or maybe I just don't know…" Louisa muttered while looking straight at the small note in the palm of her right hand.
Then immediately Louisa put the bouquet of flowers back there, and put the small note into her bag. Louisa got up and walked slowly out of the cemetery area. Hoping anxiously, if only he could meet the person who wrote this note for Jane, then maybe he could help Louisa and Henry get justice for Jane. And after that, everything will be fine. Isn't that right?

Louisa entered her front yard. She had already contacted Mrs. Grace at Tomkins House, to help her handle all the work that was left there until tomorrow. Louisa felt she had no more energy to go and work at Tomkins House. She felt overwhelmed. Need a break and maybe a cup of hot chocolate, in Henry's hoodie right now. Louisa sighed slowly as soon as she entered her house. Removing the high heels that she had been using carelessly.
Louisa dropped her tired body hard right onto the sofa. Her eyes stared up at the ceiling. Everything was quiet and lonely. Even with all the guards and employees outside her house, Louisa still felt lonely right now. Louisa changed her lying position to sit on the sofa, and started to reach into her bag to look for her cellphone. Typed a message to Henry's cell phone number there immediately.
'I know you're not going to answer my calls or any of my messages, but I need to. I hope you come home soon, Henry. I really miss you. It feels so lonely without you here. You know what I mean, right? I miss you so much, it feels so tight in my heart. So hurry home... I love you.'
After finishing typing the message, Louisa immediately sent it, and smiled briefly there. Then she turned off her phone and got up and walked to her room. Start cleaning herself. And prepared to make dinner for herself tonight alone. It didn't take long for Louisa to clean herself up, and put on Henry's hoodie. Then she walked down to the kitchen, and began to take white bread, peanut butter, a box of vanilla milk, and an apple from the refrigerator. Spread the peanut butter on two slices of white bread, then put them together. Louisa ate it slowly.
Drrrtt
The vibration that appeared on the screen of her cellphone, instantly made Louisa turn her head and see a new message sent by Henry. While chewing her food, Louisa smiled as she took her cell phone and opened the message sent by Henry.
'I really miss you too, Louisa. And yes, I promise I'll be home as soon as it's all over. I'm fine, and I hope you are too. Everything is going smoothly here, and I will tell you all about it later. I love you.'
Louisa smiled even more when she finished reading the message that Henry had sent to her. Immediately, Louisa put the white bread in her hand onto the plate. Then started typing a reply message for her to send to Henry.
'Pleased to hear it. I can't wait for your return. Go home quickly, and tell me all that happened there.'
It didn't take long for Louisa to get a message from Henry.
'Of course, after all, I also have a surprise for you when you get home.'
Louisa frowned slightly, though she couldn't get the smile off her lips at the moment.
'I love surprises.'
Louisa put her cell phone to the other side of the dining table, and started eating back the food she ate earlier. Still with a smile on his face. Louisa couldn't stop thinking about the surprise that Henry would give her. And of course. Louisa must be patient waiting for it, until Henry returns from his agency. Louisa finished her dinner quickly, then turned off the house lights, and walked into her room. Resting his body, to get ready for work the next day. However, Tomkins House can't be left behind for long. And for Louisa, the last few moments had been long enough for her not to focus on Tomkins House. So, tomorrow is the payoff in time to start focusing on Tomkins House again.
Louisa lay down on the bed, and tightly hugged the bolster she had. Hoping that the one currently in his arms was Henry. Louisa smiled in her sleep. Dreamed of how Henry behaved every time they were going to sleep.
