"Thanks for coming with me, Alex. I don't think I could do this on my own."
"Have you visited her since the funeral?"
"I can't bring myself to."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. Every time I think about coming up here, something holds me back."
"You need closure, Liv. Have you cried yet?"
"No."
"Not at all?"
"Not at all."
"You need to."
"It's been a year, Alex. How am I supposed to cry now?"
"You'll figure it out, and I'll be right there holding your hand if you want me to."
"I want you there, Alex."
