Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 460

Because of Yvonne's seafood allergy, the only seafood on the table was a fish dish and some crab; the rest was an assortment of meats and vegetables.

Though only six people were dining, seven place settings were laid out. It was obvious who the empty seat was for.

Before they ate, Bruce lit a memorial candle as was his custom. After he and his wife each paid their respects to their late daughter, he habitually offered the remaining three candles to Bennett.

However, before Bruce could hand them over, Monica stopped him.

"That's enough. Let's eat first," Monica said.

For years, they had treated Bennett like a son-in-law, and he had always respected them in turn. But Yvonne and Bennett had never married, and even if they had, so many years had passed since her death. Bennett deserved to have a life of his own.

Monica believed that her daughter's spirit would want the man she loved to move on from the past and find happiness again.

"What's gotten into you today? Taking a moment to light a candle won't make the food cold," Bruce, being a typical man, said, completely oblivious to the shifting dynamic between Bennett and Yvonne.

Monica looked helplessly at her husband, unsure how to explain, but Bennett had already taken the candles and walked over to Yvonne's photograph.

He placed the three lit candles in the holder, his calm gaze fixed on the young woman in the black-and-white picture.

The Yvonne in the photo looked completely different from the Yvonne of today; the only similarity was her pair of bright, clear eyes.

But no matter what she looked like, to Bennett, she was still her—the only moon in his sky.

Bennett reached out, his long fingers gently touching Yvonne's face in the photograph, and whispered in his heart, "Vonnie, thank you for coming back to me."

After lighting the candles, they all took their seats.
