Gardener

After her husband’s death, she was left alone in a vast, empty mansion. One day, standing in the middle of the garden, she asked me, “Why didn’t you leave?” But I couldn’t tell her the truth. “Because after Master passed, I had more reason to stay.” When she replied with a soft “I want to know why,” I knelt and pressed my lips to her feet and began to show her the answer with my body.
