#Chapter164
Until the next time
Oliver
After the funeral and gathering, I entered the house and plopped down on the couch. Conner joined me as Dad carried in a bag of food. People love to feed you when a family member dies. Mom brought in flowers.
/"Funerals don’t bother me, but this one hit me hard,/" I replied.
/"Yeah./"
I peeked at Conner. /"Are you okay?/"
/"It’s hard when someone who cares about you isn’t here. Nixon helped me when I left home. He provided me with a haven./"
I slid my hand into Conner’s hand.
/"Even though Nixon isn’t here, it doesn’t mean you don’t have a haven./"
Conner glanced at me, then leaned over and kissed me. No matter what happened, we would be okay.

Kain
Dad’s funeral left us drained. You never realize how much someone affects your life until they die. Kaiden and I also had to handle Dad’s last wishes.
I sat at the kitchen table with papers scattered on it.
