“I am too,” he says. “So I’ll try not to hold you to a standard I struggle to meet. But I will mercilessly point out how much calmer you are now and beseech you to remember that next time you’re deciding.”
He won’t push it anymore. He kisses David’s cheek. “I’m sorry you’ve had to be brave on so many fronts today. But I’m glad you were with me.
“Let’s leave the rest of this sorrow for another time. I have you here. We have libations. Let’s revel in that.”
Though of course if David wants to talk more he will be read to listen.
