They Didn’t Acknowledge Her
Doris saw that the two military officers who had been watching her throughout the funeral did not approach her or express their condolences after the visitors left. Doris was surprised since she expected them to express compassion or condolences. They avoided her and stayed on the fringes of the gathering.
After the funeral, most attendees bid Doris farewell. But the two officers who came to her house didn’t even approach her. She wondered if they were concealing anything.
