That was the biggest silver lining out of this entire situation. He didn't know how he would handle all of this stress and uncertainty without her.
She kept him from falling apart at the seams, and he hoped that he was bringing her some form of comfort.
"How are you doing?" he asked her.
"I'm scared, but it's nice seeing you and Melina get along. That gives me hope," Alyssa said with a soft smile.
