Cody's POV:
“Cheers!” we all say clinking our champagne glasses together. I look round the huge table .Sad people trying to look happy. For me.
My closest friends, my mom, my wife and her own friends. We're all having dinner. Why? Because it could be the last time we meet. Why not?
“Excuse me.” I speak up. “I would like to thank you all for being here. For joining me and my Lizzy for dinner. To you it might just be another dinner but to me...it means...a lot. Because the people I love are here. And that's enough for me.”
They all smile encouragingly.
“This means a lot to us too Cody.” My mom says taking my hand.
The evening is going good and I feel quite alright. Seeing my friends and family all together smilling makes me happy. It's not very often that they smile these days.
