“Thank you,” he said a moment later. “Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to her.”
Bill didn't sound like himself. He sounded like someone in an old mushy movie.
The kind of person Leslie and Jess would laugh at and imitate later. Boo-hooooooo, you were such a wonderful friend to her.
He couldn't help moving back, just enough to get his forehead off the stupid button. To his relief, Bill let go.
He heard his father ask Bill quietly over his head about “the service.”
And Bill answering quietly almost in his regular voice that they had decided to have the body cremated
and were going to take the ashes to his family home in Pennsylvania tomorrow.
Cremated. Something clicked inside Jess's head. That meant Leslie was gone. Turned to ashes.
He would never see her again. Not even dead. Never.
How could they dare? Leslie belonged to him. More to him than anyone in the world.
No one had even asked him. No one had even told him.
And now he was never going to see her again, and all they could do was cry. Not for Leslie.
