Re: Charlie and Bill
Bill shook his head. "Everyone in the family will be come after the funeral," he said, and the last thing he wanted was to be alone with his thoughts. "I can be on my own later." There would be plenty of that. When Louis and Dom was back at school it would be him and mum in that house, no one else. He'd have more than enough time to be alone.
He looked at the guests, then straightened up. "I can handle it," he said. "I just need to get it over with." He looked at the people too. They'd leave when he'd spoken to them. It was just a matter of doing it.
