Amends

He should have been driving much slower.

The narrow road was unlit and the night seemed to have no moon. There was no reason for him to be in a hurry. The girl on the bike came out from nowhere. He felt the impact and jammed on the brake. Climbing out, he walked to the front. The bicycle was mangled beneath his front wheel. The girl had been hurled some distance away and was lying motionless on the side of the road. He knelt and felt for a pulse. There wasn’t one! He sat down on the verge, with thoughts racing through his head. His better self said he should make a call; get it reported without delay. The devil on his shoulder told him to move on. He thought about the amount of alcohol that was still in his system. He thought about his speeding fines.

As he drove away, he felt sure that the scene wouldn’t be discovered until first light.

In the days that followed, he could not shake off what he had done. Every time he allowed his thoughts to return to the decision he had made that night; an unavoidable guilt consumed him. He knew he really needed to make amends.

It was several weeks later that he returned to the spot at night, where it had happened. He had with him an item of atonement. He had taken a trip to a florist, away from where he lived. There, he had bought an expensive bunch of flowers. The road was deserted when he pulled up. He quickly laid them on the verge, and just as quickly drove on.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that she had never liked Lilies.
