The three words Aldo wanted to hear
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please be seated. We would like to begin the ceremony", A man announced in a somber tone.
Adrianne, Emily and Raphael made their way to their seats along with the other guests. Mournful cries resounded as the coffin was wheeled in. Adrianne gave Emily's hand a tight squeeze who was silently crying. She had the strong urge to stand and follow the pallbearers wanting to see if it was all just a prank...
"Here", Raphy whispered in her ear.
She looked over and he was offering a white handkerchief. She was about to say no when she saw the initials Z.F sown in black at the corner of the cloth. She took it and it's just as she thought, it had Zach's scent on, bringing her a sense of calm. She was not alone.
The service went on for what felt like an eternity to Aldo. As full as the chapel was, he thought it would make it easier to conduct their search with the guests seated in one place.
