She had a doctor’s appointment three weeks after the funeral, so she had no choice but to finally leave the house Shaw had to handle so and said she would meet us there, so it was just Violet and me in the back of the car while Jenner drove us

Violet sat with her head against the atching the scenery go by on the drive

“It’s weird,” sheto talk to herself “My world stopped, but everyone else’s keptforward”

I didn’t kno to respond to that, so I just grasped her hand and held it firmly in mine

“Is it always this busy?” I asked her

She shrugged “Sometimes” She touched her forehead “I have such a bad headache”

“Here, babe, let e her temples

“Sorry I’ed Violet “Reraphers I don’t know”

Violet frowned “Why? What happened?”

“I’ll tell you later” She rolled her eyes “I’h Maybe I should leave hi, so I can tell round, I would have to tell er”
