Edric looked away and shrugged. He did not acknowledge her compliment, nor did he disagree. Her question had thrown him off; his mind focusing on memories of his parents instead.
"I-we, lost our mother a few years ago." he answered, picturing her on her death bed, hand frail and bony in his sister's hands. "Our father died a long time ago."
Taking on a lighter tone, Edric grinned wide, trying to seem nonchalant. Strangers did not need to see him like this, especially not ones like Angie. "Rosalie and I are the only ones left."
