Alex nodded slowly. "Okay..."
"You told me they were at your wedding. But you also told me they died when you were young. So which is it?" "They died when I was young. My aunt and uncle stepped in to raise me, and they're the ones that were at the wedding."
"How did they die?" "Well..." Alex took a deep breath to retell the story, trying not to think about it too much so he wouldn't break down. "Mom died in a car crash... And Dad died later, in a fire. He was a firefighter at the time." "You told me once that you spoke to your mother moments before she died. Were you involved in the crash as well?" Alex took a little longer to answer that question. "Yes. I was... She and I were... But there was a wreck.. And before the ambulances could get there, she died in front of me." Kirstie whimper
