Summary
“My eh. My father died.” The words had tumbled out of his mouth before he’d thought about them twice. The vicar needn’t know that. He didn’t want to, Alec assumed.
Instead of rejecting him, however, Paul’s eyes softened. “I’m sorry for your loss.”
He shrugged. “Haven’t talked to him in thirty years.” It sat heavy in his chest, somehow. He’d never had any regrets about it before. His father had been an asshole even when his mum had been alive. It had only got worse since her death.
Yet now that he no longer could, he still wished he could have seen the man one last time. To show him what he had become. To tell him that he’d been wrong.
“Doesn’t make it any easier.”
“No.” Alec conceded. “Suppose it doesn’t.”---
OR: Alec's father died and he is left to deal with the mess and emotion it leaves behind, with the help of a certain vicar.
