Larry wipes the tears away from his face as he stands from the floor, both dogs looking up at him. He gives them both an affectionate pat and heads from the room. He needed to get away from there before he spent all night crying helplessly on the floor. When he reaches the hallway, he hears rummaging downstairs and he knows exactly what Ally’s up to.

With a tired sigh, he heads down the stairs and watches her flit about, cleaning anything and everything she can get her hands on. After watching her for another few minutes, he approches her carefully and lays his hands on hers. “I know I can’t say or do anything to make this feel anywhere near okay, but I love you and we will get through this together no matter how impossible it seems.” He kisses her forehead and tucks her hair behind her ear quietly.

       Ally tenses slightly at the warmth of his hands covering hers, the action causing her to stop what she was doing as she lets her eyes fall closed. “I love you too…” She says softly, her voice just barely over a whisper as she presses her lips into a tight line and looks up at him, a nod coming from her. “Together.” It was such a simple word, yet it had all the meaning in the world, it meant that they weren’t going through this heartache alone

“I just… I can’t stop, if I stop, I’m going to fall apart. And I don’t know if it’ll stop. I don’t know if I can stand to live in a world where…” She stops what she was saying, electing to not finish her thought, simply because her mind was going faster than she could form sentences at that point. “I’m sad and I’m ANGRY, I want to strangle them with my own hands… I just want our son back.”
