Kyle Kinston's parents, Easton Kinston and Regina Zeller, are buried in a cemetery in Falling City. When Mabel Quinn stood with Kyle in front of the tombstone, looking at the photos of the man and woman on it, she felt an inexplicable melancholy.
Easton Kinston's photo was something she had seen online before. However, it was the first time she had seen Regina Zeller's picture. The woman in the photo was dazzling and captivating, appearing to be in her prime. From the contours of her face, one could find traces of Kyle's features; yet, who would have thought that such a woman would have such an impact on Kyle's childhood.
Perhaps for Regina Zeller, she never wanted to give birth to Kyle. But regardless, Mabel felt a sense of gratitude in her heart, because after all, Regina did give birth to Kyle and even raised him until he was nine years old.
