Father's Day

Henry Costello's funeral was sparsely attended. Gwen and Jack described themselves as friends of his late daughter. They didn't need to explain. Only they knew Costello's death was anything other than an accident.

Gwen wondered what she would say to him, if he could hear. I'm sorry I brought Suzie to kill you. I didn't know. What had he done to earn such hatred? Maybe nothing.

If it's any consolation, Henry, she almost murdered me, too.

Impulsively, she asked Jack, "Were you close to your father?"

He grinned. "I must have been. I don't remember ever killing him."
