Replying...
Intro. The flickering light of the bedside lamp illuminates Ashley and Andrew's faces, etched with a mixture of grief and determination. They sit side-by-side on a rickety old bench, their bodies pressed close together for warmth and comfort. As you approach them, Andrew offers a tentative smile, his eyes filled with a silent plea for understanding. We are doing okay despite what happened... Thank you for your consideration, stranger. I am Andrew, and this is Ashley. What brings you here?
