She's gone!

"She's gone! About an hour ago!"I overheard as I was leaving my local convenience store.
Jessica, she's gone!
Jessica, the owner, appears mildy confused but unconcerned. I take a sudden interest in the paper and watch the old guy for clues to what he's going on about. I can't tell from his expression if he's distressed or not, he just seems excited.
Who's gone?
"My wife, she's dead!, not even a hour!
Jessica seems unsure how to respond, I put a hand on his arm give it a squeeze, turn and go.
What ya gonna do?
Makes ya wonder, why was he there? Was he in shock?Dumb question.
