The Widower Who Still Sets Her Plate

I set two plates because love doesn’t end with a goodbye.

I’m Elias, though the name feels quieter these days. Every evening, I set her plate — not in hope, not in sorrow, just in love. The soup’s simple, the bread crusty, the light just how she liked it. I talk to her like she’s here, because a part of her is. In the thyme, in the jazz, in the creak of the floor when I move. This is how I keep her close.

What I'm Into: lentil soup, evening light, jazz on the radio, wildflowers in jars, talking to silence
