... then I saw my friend's name on the display and accidently hit speaker in my rush.
"Closet? What's wrong?"
"Hey Mania. Sorry to call so late, I was trying to catch you between possibly getting in and going to bed."
I tried to interrupt but he stopped me. "I'm fine, Mom and Dad are fine, my sister's fine, okay. We're all fine."
"But?"
"Mania, I'm sorry. Your grandfather passed away yesterday."
I flashed cold then hot and went numb. David shifted over and pulled me in, looking at me in concern.
"I don't know what to say," I admitted. "I don't know what to feel."
"You can feel all sorts of things and you probably will. The only feeling I'll kick your ass over, is guilt."
"Jesus, Drew."
"I'm not even kidding about that," he confirmed. "Are you on your own or is your secret boyfriend around?"
"Oh my God," I hid my face in my hands.
"Er, Hi. I'm David. Armenia accidently put you on speaker." David admitted.
"Hey. Hi. I cannot wait to meet you, but I guess I have to. Before you freak, I'm Mania's best friend and I'm in the States so your secret is totally safe. I'm Andrew. Drew."
"Hi, Drew. I know Armenia told you about me, it's okay."
"Oh good. So has Mania had a chance to tell you his sordid family history yet? I know you weren't gonna have much time for a while so he may not have had the chance. Probably too busy having sex. Mania won't explain the mechanics of that to me, so we're gonna have a detailed conversation when we finally ...
... meet."
I shocked myself by snorting out a laugh. "Drew! Really not appropriate. And no, I haven't had a chance to talk to David about my family. Guess I'm doing that tonight!"
"Okay. Cool. Interesting story, David. Get popcorn." I half laughed again. "So, Mania," Drew continued. "There is more."
"Of course there is."
"First of all. Your grandparents had been working in the garden yesterday evening, when it was cooler. They stopped and decided to sit with a glass of wine before going to bed. When your grandma came out with the wine she thought he was sleeping, but he had gone. I'm not gonna lie. Apart from I would want to drink the wine first, it's a great way to go."
I looked at David who was smiling sympathetically, if a little confused and still concerned, and shook my head. "It's not bad. But a shock for her."
"She's holding up. Mom went to see her this morning. Your grandma was a little distressed because she hadn't had time to get to the store or bake hostess cookies for entertaining. But Mom took a big box of freshly baked sugar cookies so she could entertain to her normal standards. Mom said it was the most civil your grandma has been towards her in over twenty years!"
I just grunted.
"Anyway, Mom asked her if she wanted you to come over. Help with arrangements or anything she needed."
"She said no," I said blandly. Ignoring David's slight jolt of shock.
"Sure she did. But if you want to come, then you come. If you need to say goodbye. Expect ...
