Tori told him.
“You’re a fly flicker. You give your father’s fishing flies a little flick on your way out of his study. Oh, and they said you’re a book nerd.”
He stood there.

Shock.
“How did you….?”
Tori watched the window frost up, and she pointed at it, so that the man could see for himself.
“Look.”
He turned his head, and watched as ice frosted up the window, and then, on it, a heart was drawn.
He backed up.

Julian nodded.

“That’s what he was wearing when we found him in his den. He died of a massive heart attack.”
Tori was aware.
As was Julian.
“Mom died afterward of a broken heart,” he said. “My mother couldn’t do it without him.”
Della shook her head.
“No, I couldn’t, but it wasn’t a broken heart. I missed my James, and being here in an empty house was too much for me. I took too much medication.”
Only, she didn’t say that.
Why?
