    "It must be really difficult for you dear, I'm so sorry for your loss." "Thank you so much for your kind words, Jan... it's been difficult for all of us, you and mother were so close. I've lost a mother and you've lost your life-long partner." Malcolm flicked a tear from his eye. Funerals are always a sobering affair. His mother had been in a same-sex relationship with Jan for as long as Malcolm could remember. "Did you manage to speak to your sister? I saw her coming into church." Jan tried to steer the conversation towards a more comfortable direction. "Oh, Rachel, yes, I did see her taking her seat near the back. I haven't had a chance to speak to her properly yet." Malcolm scoured the church grounds with his sharp gaze, turning his head rapidly from left to right in order to catch sight of Rachel. "There are so many unanswered questions, so many fond memories, and so many..." Jan hadn't finished talking yet, when Rachel came up suddenly and swung her arms around her brother's neck.

" No, she couldn't..." Just before Malcolm could finish, the vicar had interrupted him. "I'm so sorry, Malcolm, so sorry, Rachel... I just wish we could've met under happier circumstances!" "Yes, of course, vicar, lovely service by the way. Thank you for the lovely speech." Malcolm finished thanking all the friends and family who had attended. Both Rachel and Jan had taken their seats in the black vehicle. The two women seemed to blend in with the decor of the car. They both wore black, their winter coats snugging their slim figures. Their choice of stockings were similar, shiny silk with a fine mesh design. Their leather high-heels had the sling-back strap at the back, they weren't peep-toe style, perhaps because it was winter. *** "I'll make us some tea." Jan headed towards the kitchenette of the small flat, her shoes clicking on the granite tiles as she moved around precariously. "I've really missed you Malcolm." Rachel held his hand firmly in hers, her face displaying genuine affection and longing. "I've really missed you too, sweet, but you know how things are with work and everything."
