How in the world is Dex going to use "avocado" naturally in conversation today? That's the one thing on my mind when Rory, dad, and I are standing together in the funeral chapel.
There are so many people here. Dex got pulled away as soon as we arrived.
Dex and I haven't discussed how open we're going to be about our relationship, so that's another thing prickling anxiously under my skin. I didn't want to bring it up or question him about it ahead of the funeral, because it's not important right now.
I've already decided that Dex can avoid me today or keep me glued to his side, and I'm not going to worry about it either way. He's dealing with his father's death and all kinds of difficult feelings about his brother, so I'm not going to add to all of that by making him wonder how appropriate it is to be seen with me.
