The moment their flight touched down at the airport some hours later, two cars were already waiting to take them home.
Tom and Lucy got into one, while Bryan, Sonia, and Jade got into the other.
It had been a very silent trip since neither of them had been in the mood to talk. While Tom, Bryan, and Jade were still in a daze at the sudden loss of their grandfather, Lucy was still busy blaming herself for being responsible for the old man's death, while Sonia was doing her best not to get sick since the motion was making her nausea worse.
Inside the car, Lucy shifted closer to Tom and rested her head on his shoulder as she took his hand in hers.
"How are you feeling?" She asked quietly, and Tom sighed.
"I don't know yet. The only person I'm thinking about right now is my dad. You know, I just finished speaking with him about reconciling and fixing things with my grandfather before I got the news," Tom said and Lucy looked up at him.
