''Well, alright then, I'm glad to hear that you realize that you very much need the help, and I would never want you to go away from this town or Thomas. Unless it was the right thing to do, and I have something to ask did you go and find Hazel''asks Avery.
Wanting to know if her son went and followed his heart?
''No I, as a matter of fact, I never did go and find Hazel in New York. Thomas and I went to New Hampshire & Maine for a change of scenery, and I needed to step back and take some time for myself. Plus, honestly spend some quality time with Tom that I never find the time with everything, always crazy at the station during the week. It was nice not to have to be checking my phone constantly and able to smell the roses. I saw Tom climbing the slippery rocks with his water shoes on to prevent any slipping at Diana's Bath, putting our toes in the freezing icy water. The scenery was incredible. Zoey always wanted to take him there, so I made her fantasy a chance of purpose to nature & showing him somewhere out of their hometown. It was amazing after we traveled to Maine and explored Acadia National Park in Maine, walking through the sand & rocks smelling the ocean breeze. At the same time, he looked up at the high trees on top of the rocky wall. It was a priceless experience that will give Tom memories to last a lifetime ''as Liam tells his mom about what they did on their little vacation from Peppermint.
''What made you have second thoughts on not going to find her? I can how much she means to you?'' asks Avery curiously why her baby boy is putting up a wall between you and her. The main question is, what's stopping you from going after what you truly and deeply want. I have noticed a big difference in you since she came to town, and now I see a side of you since she left?'' interrogates Avery wanting to know what's going on in that head of his and why he isn't listening; to his heart?
When it needs love and repairing since it was crushed and torn out of him a year ago?
Why is he listening to his mind instead of following his heart?
When there is a woman back in Brooklyn, New York, who feels the same way he does and should be taking the same advice and listening to her heart as well?
''As she said, we aren't meant to be now we can both move on with our lives, hers is in the city, and mine is back here where I belong. I thought maybe we had a spark or a connection. Still, apparently, not which is fine, and no one got hurt'' says Liam lying through his teeth because he is heartbroken but is in complete denial about what's wrapping around in that mind of his on what he wants to make that frown turn upside down? As they say, the heart wants what the heart wants; Avery wishes that her son would listen to his instead of ignoring it.''I know that's not truly what you want; in fact, that's the complete opposite of it''says Avery.
As he looks back, ''is that so and if you know what I am feeling about her so much, momma, then why did you get Hazel involved with the whole grief group nonsense. If you had never mentioned anything, maybe she would still be here in the first place,'' yells Liam.
" Because I thought I was helping you by starting the process of healing those awful feelings about Zoey. That's what I wanted it; as a matter of fact, it's what all mothers want for their kids," says Avery sniffling as she wipes her tears.
''It's more than just moving on from Zoey, which, as you know momma, it also involves Lily''states Liam.
''Whose Lily?'' asks Jeremy
''What dad said Liam, who is Lily '' asks Holly to know who Lily is and why they haven't heard anything about her? Most of all, who even is Lily?
Liam just stares at his dad and little sister, knowing that he would have to them both sooner or later on the fact, that Lily is their granddaughter & niece.''Two months before the accident, Zoey and I found out that we were expecting; Lily was my daughter who died the same night that Zoey did ''says, Liam barely able to keep it together in front of his family. It tears him up inside, just thinking of the baby girl that he never got to hold.
''Oh my god, Liam I am so sorry; why didn't you tell us. The night that it happened?'' asks Holly curiously why her big brother has kept this to himself for so long? Was there a reason why he has kept this to himself for so long?
''I have been wanting to for the last year, but every time I tried to say the words, I would. Freeze up and be afraid to say the words ''I lost my second child'' the night I lost my wife. I thought everyone would be all pity on me if I told about what else happened that night. So I decided it was easier to just keep it to myself ''tells Liam.
''We would have never felt pity of you bud, we would have all been there for you. Which is what we are going to do now is be your support system, the same we were after all of us lost our beloved Zoey, the additional glue to our family ''states Jeremy telling his son that they are going to be there for him no matter what because that is what family do they be there for one another. Yes, it might get messy & dramatic at times, but that is what being a family is truly is.
''Thanks guys, because that is honestly what I need right now; I just don't know. I have it in my heart to go after Hazel''says Liam.
''Go after her son, because one day you will look back on this and regret it that you didn't listen to your heart '''tells Jeremy.
