Comforting David
David was agitated. He had no idea why everyone was sobbing. He glanced at Rose for consolation, and she smiled back. Rose and David were the last of the visitors to walk past the casket containing David’s late mother. With concern in his eyes, he looked down at her. “Does Mama sleep?” ” he inquires of Rose.
Getting frustrated
“Yes,” she says, unsure what to say. She realizes David has an odd expression on his face. He mumbled something Rose couldn’t understand and became irritated when she didn’t respond. He tried to wiggle free from her grasp, but Rose stepped away from the coffin and tossed him to the ground.
