When her fingers close around his, he grasps her hand tightly, relishing in the comfort. The drive back home is short and he purposefully avoids the street on which his son was slain. After what feels like seconds, he pulls into the garage and shuts the car off, sitting in the silences and listening to the sound of the car clicking and cooling as they remain seated.

After a few moments, he leans over and gives Ally a kiss on the cheek, lingering against her skin. With a sigh, he climbs out of the car and begins undoing Katie’s buckles and belts. “Can you take her? I’ll get Matty.” He suggests softly, looking across at their sleeping son as he lifts the infant from her car seat to hand off to his wife.

       “Yeah, I got her.” She says, taking the infant from him and heads inside of the house with an evident pause at the door of their garage. Once she’d stepped inside, she was immediately greeted by their excited dogs, though the blonde purposefully walks past them to take Katie up to her room to get her changed and in her crib. Everything she did was without actually seeing anything around her, simply settling into an auto pilot state.

Once she’d set Katie down, Ally tucks her securely under the covers, before leaning down to press a light kiss to the little girls cheek and slides down to sit on the floor next to her crib. The house, them being in it felt empty and she simply didn’t want to move anymore. She didn’t want to pass by Julian’s empty room, all the wanted to do was sit there on the floor and ponder the severe injustice of the world they lived in.
