That first late summer/autumn…
DAN TORRINGTON HAD MADE the ninety-minute
drive from Malibu to Riverside every Sunday morning for years, since the
week after his only brother was interred in the military cemetery there after
being killed in Afghanistan. Dan drove the Porsche Dylan had loved so
much, which now belonged to him. He’d trade the sweet car and everything
he had, every accomplishment and accolade, for one more day with his
beloved brother.
They’d never fought the way brothers often did. Rather, they’d been the
best of friends every minute of the twenty-seven years they’d had together.
Losing Dylan, almost ten years ago now, had been the worst thing to ever
happen to Dan, who’d led a relatively charmed life. Well, except for that
time he’d caught his fiancée sleeping with his best man the day before his
wedding.
As much as that had hurt at the time, it was nothing compared to losing
Dylan. The ex-friend he’d chosen to be his best man had just been a standin anyway for the man he’d really wanted by his side that day. If he couldn’t
have Dylan, he didn’t want anyone. His now ex-fiancée had pushed him to
ask someone and had advocated for the guy she eventually cheated with.
He’d been enraged, hurt and embarrassed to have to cancel the wedding the
day before, but that hurt couldn’t compare to losing Dylan.
He’d known real loss, and after the initial shock of catching them
together had worn off, losing those two had barely registered in the grand
scheme of things. These days, he rarely gave either of them a thought. He
hoped they were perfectly miserable together and that it was worth what
they’d done to him—and his parents, who’d been shocked by the turn of
events.
He walked up to the granite monument that bore his brother’s name.
After all this time, you’d think it wouldn’t be surreal anymore to see
Captain Dylan Torrington, USA, summarized on a hunk of stone with
the years of his too-short life prominently featured along with the words
BELOVED SON and BROTHER. You’d be wrong. It was still the most
surreal thing that Dylan was gone, that he didn’t live long enough to
become a beloved uncle and that Dan was left to carry on without the most
important person in his life. The intense ache of the loss had dulled
somewhat over the years, but it never truly went away.
Dan took a seat at the base of the stone and leaned back against it to
drink the coffee he bought at the same local shop every week. They knew
him there, even if they didn’t know why he came in every Sunday morning.
His parents and sisters didn’t know about his weekly visits. This time
belonged to him and Dylan and no one else.
“Another week of nonstop madness in the life of Dan Torrington,
Esquire.”
