“Jeremy, Paige, Philip, and Mama G were at the funeral.”

“I know.”

“You guys must be real close for them to have thought it was necessary to come.”

“We are.”

Then Will asked a question that didn’t surprise Stan. He’d been expecting it.

“Why did you pay for the funeral?” He asked, his voice low.

“Because I needed to,” Stan said simply.

“We all have things that we want to do but we don’t go around doing them.”

“You’re right. But as I said, I needed to do it. And I usually do what I feel I need to do.” Stan shrugged. “As for what I want to do, there are a lot but I don’t do all.” His intent gaze was on Will who was looking into his mug and slowly running his fingers over the edge. “Can’t do all.”

“Like?”

“I want to kiss you so bad right now.” Stan breathed. “But you don’t see me making any move to do that, do you?”
