when: june 4th where: a cemetery who: closed for @heloisem

The funeral is a small affair. It is Giovanni’s family -- his mother, his father, his two sisters, what might be an eclectic collection of cousins, the priest. And then, from afar, standing at another grave with the name newly polished (a young Swedish woman, he thinks), flowers bought a handful of days ago laid out across the slab, Boris and Heloise.

He’d been hesitant to tell her about the funeral, at first. It hadn’t taken much to make some calls at the morgue, make arrangements, contact the family. Right now, Giovanni -- or Gio, as his nickname had apparently been -- is in a casket in the ground, and his mother is bawling her eyes out. He doesn’t want to look at Heloise for fear she might be in a similar state, all shaken to pieces. He’s dealt with that already, doesn’t know if he has the will or the way to do it again.

But he’d set it up. He’d made the call. He’d told her. The words she’d said to him that night, it can’t all be for nothing, well, he hates to admit it, but they might have cut deeper than he’d expected. They’d dogged after him in the following days, leaving the faintest trace of metal in his mouth, grinding his teeth before he’d went to bed. She hadn’t texted him an overzealous amount like she usually did, which meant it all must have impacted her.

Watching the gathering as they pick up the pieces of themselves and work their way out of the cemetery, Boris sort of wishes he’d just put Gio’s body in the trunk of the car, buried the body, and then lied about it. That would’ve been the smart thing to do. It takes an hour of watching, smoking his way through an entire fucking pack of cigarettes, Jesus Christ, he needs to quit for the third time in as many years, and then it is just them.

Just Boris and Heloise. Attending a funeral for a man they didn’t even know, whose death hadn’t been their fault, certainly not Boris’, and feeling bad about it.

Well. She might feel bad. He’s not so sure about himself, yet. That’s still up in the air. He clears his throat. “Did you want to go look?”
