Hazel didn't really want to talk about it but she assumed that John had told Eva why she was upset. Why else would she have come running after her?
But she didn't want to be the first one to say anything. It would make the reality of her situation hit harder. The past few days being a part of something that millions of normal people across the country did had been surreal.
The life she might have had never seemed as foreign to her as it had this weekend. And then that jerk had to go and tell her information about her parents that she could never get out of her uncle and make her even more emotional.
She had never known her mother liked to make fudge for the neighbors or that her father liked to chat about work while checking the mail. She had been too young to pay attention to those things. As it was, she barely recalled there had been fudge at all.
