"Hello, Mrs. Taylor? I regret to inform you that your grandmother, Miss Claudia, passed away two days ago. We tried to contact you earlier, but left a voicemail regarding the information we need you, as you are the only reachable relative, to come to our office and take care of."
Lindsey's jaw dropped, and she looked at Jay terrified. She'd never gotten to say goodbye. Not even a recent visit to make her guilt wash away. "I.. I'll call you ba-ack." She hung up, and managed to put her phone in her pocket before clasping her hand over her mouth, and looking at Jay. "My grandmother died two days ago." She swallowed, and couldn't feel any sudden emotion.
"I.. I didn't even get to say goodbye.." She said softly, and ran a hand through her hair. Guilt washed over her like a flood, and she had a terrible aching feeling in her stomach. Were any of the other couples feeling like this? Like nothing would go right?
