Here is the part I am currently on:-
In the hallway, the
front door opened and then after a moment, closed again. Fran and Gary sat
without speaking as if the moment was so sacred it required the silence of the
sacristy. It took another few minutes for Alison to reappear and when she did,
her eyes were red and puffy. “He’s gone,” she said, her voice breaking on the
very first syllable.
How
strange that it is me, comforting her, Fran thought as she
rose from the chair with her arms wide, wrapping them tight around Jim’s twin.
“At least his suffering is over,” she told herself and Ally. Whereas mine has only just begun. As painful
and terrible as before, his death hasn’t brought an end to my anguish, just
pushed it in a different direction, she realised.
Poor Fran... Happy Reading!
Poor Fran... Happy Reading!
