Herbert adjusted his tie, feeling slightly out of place. He was asked to preside over the annual Oakhaven Historical Society's garden party, held, somewhat ironically, in the old cemetery. Margot had pointed out that at least it was quiet.

"Herbert, try to look… official," Margot whispered, smoothing his collar. "And for heaven's sake, no donut jokes."

Herbert sighed. "But the irony!" he protested softly. "Here we are, amongst the dearly departed, and I can't even mention the delicious donuts I smuggled in my briefcase?"

Margot rolled her eyes. "Just smile and read the speech. And please, don't get all theatrical. This isn't amateur night at The Dog & Duck."

Later, Brian, who'd tagged along because Margot promised him ice cream, was examining a particularly ornate tombstone. "Imagine being stuck here forever," he mused.

"Well, it's not exactly imprisonment, Brian," Laura said, overhearing him. She was sketching the ancient oak tree that dominated the cemetery. "They're, you know, at peace."

Brian considered this. "Arguably," he said, "it's a very long time to be grounded."

Laura chuckled. "You would think that."

Herbert, observing them, felt a small pang of guilt. Maybe he should spend less time on donut-related schemes and more time… well, more time just being present.
