"I am only going to admit this once. I am not five foot two. I am five foot exactly." I told him before going on a rant "You are closer to seven foot. My head barely reaches your chest. You are still way larger than me now when I am sitting on your lap."

His mouth moved up in a small amused smirk.

"Do you not think that looks ridiculous?" I asked before I elaborated "You are way too big."

He put a hand under my chin so I had to look over my shoulder at him.

"I would not change anything about you." He told me, his deep voice strong "Not one single thing."

With a final once-over of his features, I faced the other way and did my best to run away. It was another failed attempt.

The pattern was that I pulled away and he pulled me back twice as hard.

It was draining me. I was fighting so hard for something that was the exact opposite of what I truly wan

The priest finished the service. His whole speech was filled with religious thoughts and lovely words yet as he delivered them, his face remained completely emotionless.

I could not help but think that he would have gotten on well with Stone.

"I am sorry." I quickly said "That was a bad time for a joke. I usually do that when I feel uncomfortable or sad or anything really."

Lana let out a small laugh from next to me.

She had told me that morning that she wanted to be there for me. I did not say anything to object because I knew that I could not have faced the funeral on my own. I was so grateful that she was there and very grateful that she had let me borrow a dress to wear.

I figured that wearing an AC/DC t-shirt was not appropriate for a funeral.

"Is there anything you would like to say?" Grumpy Priest asked while motioning to the coffin that had not been lowered into the ground yet.

"It was me at the school trip to the science museum in seventh grade that threw the planet Uranus at the teacher." I vocalised "It was not Lana. Even though I insisted it was."

"You told him it was me?" She spoke in an accusing tone.

I sheepishly smiled at her "It was not a big deal."
