Cole stared in silence.
“You don’t have to earn them anymore,” Mr. Hayes said softly. “I know about June.”
Cole’s eyes filled with tears.
“I didn’t want anyone to know…”
“There’s nothing to hide,” Mr. Hayes said gently. “Loving someone like that is something to be proud of.”
Cole broke down.
“I just don’t want her to think we forgot her…”
“She won’t,” Mr. Hayes said. “Not with a brother like you.”
And from that day on…
Cole still came every Saturday.
Not because he had to.
But because it made him feel close to her.
Every week…
A new teddy bear.
Placed gently beside her grave.
But now…
Something else started appearing too.
Fresh flowers.
Left quietly beside the bears.
Cole never asked who brought them.
Because deep down…
He already knew.
