He heard it clearly. ‘Come-back, come-back.’ Each time it repeated the same request, the same pleading chant. It was a hopeless toll that offered no promise, no consolation. There was no comfort in it, only a heartfelt plea. A yearning to turn back time; to make everything right again. More than three decades had passed since everything was right. ‘Come-back, come-back.’ He had never understood why she left.
