Charley’s face was hard as he looked at the pious-looking men carrying Scott’s remains. “Maybe we should go, Kathy. You don’t need to go through this farce.”
Kathleen shook her head. Her eyes were bright, unflinching. She grabbed Charley by the arm and then put her arm around her mother, and together they walked up the sidewalk and into the foyer of the church.
