In Memoriam
“Thank you for your time, Father,” said Bishop, as they left the church. She buttoned her coat, headed for the door, but Tony stopped in the vestibule. “Tony?”
He didn’t answer, just took a crumpled dollar bill from his pocket and slid it into the candle stand, before taking a match to light a single flame.
“Kate was Catholic,” he said, after a long moment. “I know you’ve been reading up on… yeah. I light one, for her, sometimes, when I’m…”
