Re: Tyra and Alexis
"I won't cry, don't worry," She smiled. "It takes more than that to make me cry."
She didn't hold out much hope for anybody having told her mom anything. She had tried to think of what her family would think but it came down to two options. 1. She was dead. 2. She had run away somewhere. Neither was good and they would left be in the same atmosphere of confusion, sadness and anger that had been there when Tim had disappeared so suddenly.
"Beer, football and friends," She squeezed Alexis's hand back gratefully before smiling brightly. "I guess I'll just have to put it aside for now. Everyone's being so nice, I don't want to bring the tone down or anything."
She tried to think of something to talk about. "So did you enjoy the football?"
