What was better? Isobel was sitting here with him. Listening.
He paused, looking down at the ground for a long moment before taking in a deep breath in.
"Did I ever tell you that I don't remember my parents? Or if I have any brothers or sisters? Or any other relative other than the Aunt that I live with?"
Isobel frowned and looked up at Damien.
"No, I didn't know that." She placed her hand on his arm because it seemed sufficient. She wasn't sure if there was more to the story, but she was listening.
