Alley POV

I haven't left the house since she died. Since I sat in the kitchen as the police officer told me what happened. Since my first day of being an orphan. I stood starring at the mirror, gazing at the photo of the three of us; mum, dad and I. When we were normal.

I heard Charlie come in. I cried again, all I seem to do lately is cry. Like when I was pregnant with Emma. Charlie pulled me into his suited chest and stroked my hair until I calmed down. We got in the car and drove to the church.

...

After the service. We went to her favourite place. The park where she'd met dad.

We didn't talk. We just sat. Charlie had his arm around me and the other hand on my thigh. I rested my head on his shoulder. The cool breeze went right through me as I moved closer into Charlie. The big, twisted trees shadowed over us. The wooden park bench was hard but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We watched Emma playing on the grass. She's the only one I have now. Emma and Charlie are my only family.
