agony.”
Kirk didn’t agree to his request but asked, “Do you need help with the other things? For example,
the arrangements for the funeral.”
“Thank you, Uncle Kirk. But you don’t have to worry about that. Caroline would probably come
over to help.”
Kirk frowned. “Caroline wants to go there too? Why?”
Eddy didn’t notice anything wrong with Kirk’s tone. “She said she wanted to come over.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
