“None taken. And thank you. I appreciate this. I left it at my son’s grave. Not sure if someone stole it, or if it blew away or what.” Tristan stared at the bear. “Or maybe he wanted me to have it back.”
“Anything’s possible, I suppose,” Bob said. “Anyway, I’m really sorry about your son.”
“Thank you. I appreciate that.” Tristan reached into his wallet and took out two crisp, one-hundred-dollar bills. “I’d like to give your son something for his kindness. I appreciate him not just leaving this on the side of the road.” He held the money out. “Will you please take this?”
The man held his palms up. “That’s not necessary.”
“Please,” Tristan urged. “It’s the least I can do.”
“If you insist, I’ll take it. He’s saving for a new bike, so this will really help.”
“Well, good.” Tristan returned his wallet to his back pocket. “What’s your son’s name?”
The man smiled proudly. “Jacob.”
