Summary
He keeps the Ashes.
It’s not a lot, maybe a thimbleful gathered into one of those tiny bottles picked up on a whim in a new-age Wicca shop.
Jon couldn't just throw them away. He tells himself it's just until he finds the right final resting place, but so far, nothing seems to fit.
At first, Jon keeps the bottle in the front pocket of his work shirt. When it’s clear he has no intention of ever letting him go, he wraps a leather cord securely around it and wears it tucked under his shirt where it wouldn't be noticed.
Gerry rests against his heart. It brings him some comfort. He thinks they could have been friends, given better- or even just differently worse circumstances.
