Dad and Mom sit ahead of me in the car as we head towards the courthouse.
"Are we almost there?" I say anxiously.
"Soon, very soon." My mom replies as we turn around a corner.
Dad lets the car self drive as he turns his seat around to face me and Mom does the same thing.
"Mallory..." Dad trails off.
"No matter what happens in their, I love you both, and Carol," I say, tears threatening to spill over as I wipe them away and smile, "And I love the human race." I laugh as I open the door and climb out, some how more mentally prepared for this than I ever would have thought. For the debate or for death, or maybe for both.
