They made good time out to Columbia and the Rocquette house. Gramps filled the time telling Tom about his latest woodworking projects. It wasn’t a subject that much interested Tom, but he was willing to listen for the old man’s sake. Genifer called ahead, and Gram had tea and cookies ready when they arrived. Tom was expecting to have the evening to relax, but before the tea was cold, Genifer brought the conversation back around to the funeral and insisted that Tom go with her to the last night of the viewing. He argued that attendance at the funeral was sufficient, given the relationship, but Genifer was having none of that.
