“Gerald, Tom knows who his father is now.” She spoke.

“How’s he taking it?” Gerald asked.

“I… I don’t know yet. I had just told him before you drove up. He seems a little distraught but I’m not so sure whether it’s from knowing that J.D. was not his father or that Duke was.” Annie admitted and bit her bottom lip to keep it from trembling.

Gerald let out a sigh as he thought of what he might say.

“It’s a lot to take in at one time, Annie. Give the boy a little time.” Gerald said in a consoling tone.

“You always were a soft-hearted man, Gerald. Thank you. I just… I just don’t know yet, it’s kind of sudden. Give me a little time for it to sink in.” Annie said with a sad face as she continued to stir her coffee in her cup.

Tom came back into the kitchen and immediately sensed the tension in the air. He paused at the door looking between the Sheriff and his mother. The Sheriff looked over at him and nodded almost imperceptibly and gave a twitch that motioned Tom to come join them at the table.

“The working explanation for the cause of death is drowning. The coroner will be conducting a thorough autopsy of course, but I’m pretty sure that’s how it will be recorded officially. That will be acceptable for insurance purposes, so you shouldn’t have any problems with them. I’ll let you know when the body is ready to be released so that… final arrangements can be made.
