There was nothing anyone could do. Had her parents been notified? Had Harvey? Adella? She had no idea how to tell them, how this always seemed to fall on her. Tyb had the worst of it though, having to hear about it firsthand at work. It certainly couldn't have been easy to carry that news home to her.

She shook her head against his shoulder. Nothing could be done now. "W-was someone sent to t-tell my parents?" She mumbled, tears still streaming. She had to collect herself enough to go home and tell everyone else if that wasn't the case. Going to her parents' house was what she had to do anyway, to be there for them in any way that she could. There was going to be so much to do in the next few days. They hadn't even had Bentley to bury, that had been done in Boston where he'd been staying, though they had a headstone for him here too. This was wildly different and very much the same all at once.
