Ford blinked when Noble spoke, trying to piece together what he meant. The words themselves were simple enough, but sometimes when people said I'm sorry they meant it generally, as in I'm sorry this is happening. Obviously they were all sorry, because this was probably the worst thing that had happened to any of them since their father had died — arguably even worse than that, because while it had hit them all out of nowhere, at least it hadn't been uncertain. Noble's tone didn't sound like that was what he meant, though.
"Hey," Ford said gently, trying to get Noble to meet his eyes for a minute.
