That and some thickeners and stabilizers. He had just about gotten it to tolerable when he was grabbed from behind, nearly spilling the hot coffee.
"FLY-DOCTOR KAI! How the hell are ya!" Kesley practically shouts as she gives the good doctor a huge bear hug from behind. He had not heard her voice in about a decade, but he knew it. She had developed a bit of a twang, living out in Texas.
"Not to be too blunt, Kel, but I am at a funeral," he replied. Many of the visitors were staring at the two of them. He set the coffee down and turned to give her a hug back. "I am glad you could make it, though."

Kelsey's demeanor instantly changed as though she finally realized she was at a funeral.
"That's right...ugh, I'm all hat and no cattle this morning. I left Conroe last night and drove straight on through. I can't help but feel guilty that I didn't make it here sooner."
Kelsey sniffled and cleared rapidly forming tears from her eyes.
"I suppose bein' in Miami you were here before the rest of us, huh?"
