Briar POV

"What happened to your mum?" Myles asks, suddenly and randomly.

I freeze at his question. I hardly ever talk about the accident that killed both my mum and younger sister. I think about changing the subject but I decide to tell him.

"My mum and younger sister were in a terrible car accident two years ago." I explain, a lump forming in my throat. "My mum died at the scene, but my sister, Abbey was in a coma for a month ... in the end she didn't make it either."

"Oh, I'm so sorry." He says, sympathetically.

"Its alright." I sigh.

We walk a little further in silence. Its not exactly awkward, but its not comfortable either.

"So what is it you need from the shop?" Myles asks me, starting conversation.

"Uhm ... " I say, uncomfortably. "Girl stuff."

He looks away, also feeling uncomfortable. Its kinda funny to be honest.
