"I think I'm gonna lay back down on the sofa...." she said. "Stay here until Alex gets home?" she asked him softly, her eyes desperate. Justin being there made her feel like Alex was there, in a way. "U-unless, you need to get back to Ad..." she added quickly, feeling a little selfish.
Justin nodded in agreement. Why else would his dad not answer the phone? There could be plenty of reasons but driving seemed to be the more likely reason.
She didn't know why people accepted her?
"Anna, if they didn't accept you, this entire family would be excluded from society" he responded. Well it was true. She wasn't the only one who experienced a lot of death. Matthew was just another family member to add to the endless list.
"Of course I'll stay" he smiled.
