Aria's POV
I gripped the car door. My legs went weak. I almost collapsed.
A uniformed officer spotted me and hurried over to hold me up. "You must be Miss Aria Grayson. I'm Officer Richard."
I clutched his arm like it was the only thing keeping me standing. "Officer Richard, you're joking, right? My brother… he's just messing with me…"
Officer Richard stayed quiet. The pity in his eyes said everything. He spoke heavily, "I'm sorry, Miss Grayson. My condolences."
The thin string that had been holding me together snapped the second he said "condolences."
"That's impossible!" I screamed, shaking my head hard. "It can't be! My brother is so careful. He promised he'd drive safe! He promised me! Joshua! Come out! Stop joking with me! Joshua!"
Aria! I can't smell him anywhere. He's not her
