Audra and Armin weren't trying to make him feel bad.
They really were kind people.
They didn't rub their success in his face because they didn't have to.
Their mere existence was enough.
Dinner was pushed back because of rain.
No cookout like his dad planned on.
Just a pot of spaghetti and garlic bread now.
Will helped where he could, setting plates, filling glasses.
The house was full of smiles and chatter.
Will tried to keep up with the conversations, but quickly gave up.
He was drowning in a sea of questions about work and home renovations and upcoming vacations to other countries.
Suddenly, in all the noise, Will heard his father's voice call out to him.
His voice echoed in Will's head.
He turned to his father, taken back by the solemn and unprompted reminder.
Will asked him in disbelief.
His dad smiled.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Will sighed.
Before he could compose himself, Audra appeared at Will's side.
Hey, can you go grab Lily?
