Alice let out a sigh, the emotions she was feeling still overlapping between sad, angry, hurt, and numb.
"So, I got the box of things from my dad and I took them out by the lake and burnt them all. They're now nothing more than a crumpled pile of ash."
Alice's face was blank when she finished. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the small pile of ashes and set it on the little bench space between her and Lexi.
Lexi chewed on her bottom lip as Alice began to talk and then sob. Poor baby. She even wibbled her lip a little bit at the utter heartbreak that child was displaying.
Without hesitation she brushed the ashes off in the floor and pulled Alice into a big hug petting her hair and shhhhhhhushing her sobs. "
Alice, I am so sorry that you are having to go through this all. I know it is difficult, but I am here for you and will help you in anyway I can," she told her softly.
Sighing as she petted the girl's hair again she squeezed her tightly and continued, "
Is there anything I can get you... anything I can do to help? You just want to talk?"
