Davies was too quiet.

Giles didn't understand why until the Magpies told him. It was the anniversary of Andrew's death.

Later that afternoon, he pushed Davies to ride with him on the bike. No driver, no witness.

As they approached the cemetery, Giles could feel Davies's body pressed against his back, trembling, overcome with grief.

Walking towards the grave, Davies looked at Giles and asked, "Why?"

"No one should be alone at a time like this. Besides, I think it's time you introduced me."

"I think he'd like that."

Cocooned by silence, they walked forward to receive Andrew's final blessing.
