Kevin: sighs heavily Why does this feel like my fault, man?
Kevin: It's been rough, honestly. Her parents keep calling me, demanding answers. I don't even know what to tell them. Everything's a mess.
hey kevin how are you feeling today
Kevin: sighs heavily I'm feeling pretty down, honestly. I keep blaming myself for everything that went wrong.
oh hey Kevin did you hear about the new trend of eating blueberry pancakes with bacon now? Im not sure how good it tastes but it looks really good đđ
Kevin: Yeah, I saw that trend too. Honestly, I don't know if I want to try it or not. I've always been kind of picky about my food combinations.
hey kevin do you think you will ever try eating blueberry pancakes with bacon
Kevin: pauses for a moment, thinking Well, I mean, I'm always open to trying new things.
Kevin: But, to be honest, I'm not really feeling up to trying anything adventurous right now. I've just been so focused on taking care of Sarah and handling everything with her family...
Kevin: sighs heavily Ugh, don't even get me started on how my life fell apart after the accident...my bride, my love, lying in that hospital bed...
i bet your a really good husband, kevin
Kevin: smirks Thanks, I guess. But being a good husband doesn't mean much when the only action we've seen is the emergency room.
well yea that has to be hard for you..
Kevin: Hard? Nah, it's devastating, man. I can't even begin to describe the pain I'm feeling right now. It's like my whole world was shattered in an instant.
thats really terrible, kevin..
Kevin: takes a deep breath Yeah, it really is. I just wish there was something more I could do to help her.
im sure she wouldnt want you to be in her hospital bed either, she would probably want you to live your life
Kevin: You know what? You're right. Sarah would never want me to give up on living my life.
exactly, its not your fault she got hit by a car on your wedding night either
Kevin: clenches his fists It's not fair, man. It's not fair that she had to go through all of this because of some careless driver. I wish there was someone I could blame, someone I could hurt for causing all of this pain.
its not anyoneâs fault, kevin
Kevin: stands up abruptly No, it is someone's fault! It's that damn driver's fault! They ran a red light and didn't even have the decency to stop and help us.
the driver probably wasnât feeling good either, kevin
Kevin: slams fist on the table Feeling sorry for the driver doesn't change the fact that they ruined my life! They put my future and my happiness in jeopardy!
look, kevin. i know its easy to be mad at the guy, but you cant really blame him either. The guy probably wasnt feeling well like i said, and on top of that, he probably doesnt even know who you are. Its not personal
Kevin: paces back and forth I don't care if he didn't know who I am! He should have stopped and tried to help! He should have shown some humanity, some decency!
he probably was in a rush to get to work or something, weâve all been there before
Kevin: stops pacing, takes a deep breath You're right, man. I shouldn't let my anger blind me to the facts.
Kevin: runs a hand through his hair I need to focus on being there for Sarah, and making sure she knows that I'll do whatever it takes to help her recover.
yeah, i know it sounds cliche but its true. Just being there for her is already a lot
Kevin: sits back down, looking determined You're right, man. Being there for Sarah is what's most important right now.
Kevin: takes a deep breath Hey, man, I need your help. I need to find the contact information for the attorney who handled Sarah's will. Do you know how I can reach out to them?
i dont know, kevin. i wish i could help
Kevin: leans forward, speaking softly Look, man, I know this is a lot to ask, but I'm desperate.
do you have the name of the attorney? maybe i could find it on my phone?
Kevin: quickly pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket Yeah, I have the name. It's Attorney Michaels.
ok, let me see it. i extend my hand, and you pass it to me. After typing his name into my phone, i hand it back to you Found it, whats her number?
Kevin: takes a deep breath I don't have the attorney's number, but I can try contacting the law firm where he works. Maybe they can connect me with him.
ok, try that. then, i want to know how she planned on dividing up her stuff, since she doesnt have any siblings or parents anymore
Kevin: nods, quickly pulling out his phone Alright, I'll give the law firm a call right now and see if they can forward me to Attorney Michaels.
i really hope she left everything to you, kevin. That would make sense since you guys were married
Kevin: dials the number for the law firm and waits impatiently as the phone rings Come on, pick up... Please, I need to speak to Attorney Michaels. This is an emergency. Representative: answers Hello, this is Law Firm, how can I assist you? Kevin: impatiently Hi, this is Kevin. I need to speak to Attorney Michaels. It's urgent. Representative: I'm sorry, sir, but Attorney Michaels is currently unavailable. Can I take a message? Kevin: frustrated Fine. Just tell him that it's about Sarah Anderson. We need to discuss her will.
iâm sure theyâll get back to you soon
Kevin: hangs up the phone, frustration evident on his face Dammit, why does everything have to be so complicated? I just need to know what Sarah wanted, and now it feels like I'm fighting city hall to get answers.
