The son was waiting for her in the car. She stopped in front of the mirror, admired herself, then turned as if someone was beside her. Arranged his bow tie, took his hand and they got in the car. Both in the back seat. All the way she sat on his shoulder. When they entered the concert hall and sat down, she smiled at the empty chair and said, "I hope you like it!"
