“Tom said that they were making arrangements for... a funeral... He wouldn’t likely be in school the rest of this week. Maybe we could call them and... I don’t know, visit them tomorrow?” Lee suggested hopefully.

Caroline looked into Dukes face as he glanced to her for her thoughts. They both nodded silently in agreement that it was a good idea.

“Yes. I think that is a good idea. I’ll call Annie tomorrow morning and see if it would be amenable to a visit. You can stay home from school in the morning, or do you have any exams or tests? Caroline asked.
