Chapter 7

"Alex, I'm sorry."

Alex folded her arms, but nodded her acceptance of the apology.

"Look, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. It's just kind of… kind of hard to believe all that has happened to y-your partner. To Bobby. I mean, he just never seems to catch a break, you know?"

Alex scoffed and gave a little nod.

"And I guess I thought he was just taking advantage of your friendship all this time, okay? I understand now. I mean, what you told me plus it was all over the news."

"He's a good guy, Liz. He could use a few friends right now."

"Well, I don't really know him, but… if you choose him, then I respect that."

Alex folded her arms again. She let out a long sigh.

"Have you told him how you feel?"

"I can't do that… now… Liz. He's grieving his brother. He needs time."

Liz smiled politely and gave her sister a nod. "I suppose there's always plenty of that to give."
