Nicholas stood at the cemetery looking down at the tall elaborate tombstone that bore the simple carved name , birth date and death date of his second wife. He held a dozen roses in his hands.
Beside him stood his youngest son Nigel who looked very professional in an expensive business suit.
Nicholas sighed deeply. He was fifty six and looked like he had aged ten years in just a few months time. He bent down to lay the roses on her grave. " Until we meet again, my love. "
Nigel looked at his expensive wristwatch and said crisply," I don't want to rush you, Dad. But we need to get to the courthouse for the adoption. DuBuis and Spencer are nervous as all hell. And I have several meetings today at the company. "
Nicholas nodded and stood up gingerly. " Yes. Let's go. " He looked at his son. " I need to talk to Richard about his campaign for mayor anyway. I wish his memory would return altogether. It's becoming an issue. "
Nigel pursed his lips. " I don't think it will ever come back. " Then his phone rang and he pulled it out, saying," Norland speaking. Alexi ? This is nine am. The meeting with Dennis Electronics over the consolidation of the company with him staying as CEO and president is at noon. What exactly do you need? " He paused. " I left that file on your desk. Look for it. Do I have to do everything? "
Another call was coming in. He glanced at it. Richard. He sighed and hit decline on it as he continued talking to his brother on the phone.
