"I killed him" she uttered the three words to Bill, barely above a whisper.
"Don't talk stupid gal, you didn't kill him" This was gonna be hard he knew, Nancy had been strong once but now…one thing was for certain though, he would never leave her again.
"I did Bill, if should never of told him, if I hadn't of told him he would never of stopped and the cart… it never would of…"Again she looked down at Nicholas's body. Apart from the blood that had worked its way down to the front of his shirt, he looked at peace.
"Now you listen to me Nance, if you hadn't have told him he would of spent his whole life feelin'
