Hannah

It’s been three days since Raif not only officially declared me his old lady within the club, but we also told them we’d been married in a double ceremony with Hero and my sister. We partied into the night. The club had seen some rough tides in recent weeks and it was the little reprieve we all needed, today though, it’s back to business.

I’ve been looking at the contents of my closet for ten minutes. It’s Carver’s funeral today and I find it hard to concentrate. I’m in my heels and thigh-high stockings, but that seems to be as far as I can get myself to ready.

With everything else happening at once, I never really got the chance to grieve the loss of my friend. He accepted me as his little sister from the moment we met. The man had a light about him that most bikers never find. It was a wonder he hadn’t been snatched up by some lucky woman by now.

“Baby? You’re still not dressed.” Raif walks up behind me, resting his chin on my shoulder and hugging my waist from behind.

“I’m sorry. It’s just kind of hitting me now that he’s gone. He shouldn’t be gone, Raif. He should’ve been here cracking jokes at your expense about why it took you so damn long to claim me.”

“I know, baby.”

“I love him like he’s my own flesh and blood brother. Not loved. Love. And I never got to say goodbye.”

“Baby,” he whispers. “He’s here. You think that stubborn ass would willingly leave us? He made those jokes. We just couldn’t hear them.”

“But I want to hear them, Raif. It’s not fair and in a way, it’s my fault, just like Duke said. If I’d have been—”

“Stop it, Hannah,” Raif says, cutting me off. “You did what you felt you had to do to protect the club. I get it. Duke was hurting, but he gets it now. Even Carver got it. That’s why he was there to have my back, baby. Don’t take that on.”

“It’s already there. I don’t feel like I have a right to show up today.”

“Not only do you have the right, but baby, you gave vows that said you’d be there to help me through this kind of shit, just the same as I made those vows to you. Through thick and thin, remember?”

Right. He helps me pick an appropriate dress. It’s mostly black with purple trim because it’s appropriate to wear some color to funerals now.

As we gather at the back of the property where the service will take place, I’m not met with glares like I thought I might be. Even Tommy Doyle and a very pregnant Maryanne show up to pay their respects.

Duke stands up to give the eulogy. Then other brothers and some of the women stand to talk about him. Even though I’m probably opening myself up to a whole lot of ire, I stand up too, and with Raif at my side, I walk up to face the group.
