Excepting one panicked moment when Severus stumbled from the fireplace and almost barreled into a security guard, they reached the gravestone without incident. Severus wobbled a bit at the sight of it, and Lucius laid a silent, steadying hand on his shoulder. Severus took a deep breath and leaned into it, his fingers tracing the lettering reverently.

Beloved Wife and Mother
Severus closed his eyes, allowing himself a single tear. The stone was cool under his fingers, Lucius’ hand warm against his shoulder, and the autumn wind was blowing pleasantly through his hair.
And for the first time since his mother’s death, he felt a moment of peace.
