My head was pounding.

Eliza, clutching Mikey's urn, slid into Casper's car, her long eyelashes barely hiding the hot tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her lip hard, struggling to keep her emotions in check. But...

The tears still trickled down her cheeks. Her grief was unstoppable.

Seeing her in such pain, Casper gently reached out, pulling Eliza's trembling body into his arms, letting her head rest against his shoulder.

"It's okay to cry, there's no shame in it."

In his embrace, Eliza sobbed helplessly, her voice hoarse and shaking. "Casper, I... I'm an orphan now."

She leaned weakly against him, her eyes lost and forlorn. Over the years, through all the ups and downs, the truths and lies, she had been through so much. In the end, she was still alone.

He desperately wanted to tell her that she still had him. That he would always be there for her, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"People grow up, and as we do, we lose a lot. Things we don't want to lose, things we can't bear to part with, things beyond our control."

He wanted to offer her some comfort, but it didn't seem like the right time. Right now, she needed to let out all her sorrow.
