After the Funeral, Emily decided to collect Adrian's ashes and place him in the town graveyard. She loved him dearly, but she didn't want his ghost loitering around the house scaring the children. Before she took his ashes down, she was given the option to engrave the headstone.

I ummed and aahed over this for a moment or two because I wasn't sure I was happy with the default text displayed above. I was torn between wanting to show a little of Emily's distress at the sudden marriage end, and wanting to do the "right" thing. Because Emily always does the right thing (too good for her own boots that one), and thinking of the children viewing it later on in life, she decided to leave the default message as is.

Because she is currently not thinking straight (the sudden job quitting helps back that up), she decided to go and pick a burial plot that night... ie in the dark, when ghosts come out. Perhaps she wanted the chance to see Adrian one last time? Who knows...

I chose a nice shady spot under a big tree as Adrian did love his garden. I figured he'd be happy being close to nature. Emily also seemed happy after she had buried him, walking away with a smiley face next to a thought of Adrian. Maybe he was in a better place now?
