(Wait for it...)

"...I'm sorry.  Don't answer if it's too painful.  I'm not usually one to bring up sleeping ghosts, but Valentine's Day has always been haunted for me."

''Don't do it. Cut your losses while you still can.''

"...It's the anniversary of when my parents were killed.  They were going out to have a big romantic night, and they got into a head-on collision with a drunk driver.  Both of my parents and the other driver were instantly killed on impact.  I was only 3 years old.  I don't remember those next few weeks very clearly; just a little boy not understanding why his parents weren't coming home.  God, I probably would have lost it if it hadn't been for my brother, Reilly.  He was 15 at the time, and I don't know how he stayed so strong through all of it.  But I know I wouldn't have made it without him."

"I always hoped talking about this would get easier over time, but some pain never goes away..."

And Ciarán hadn't noticed that through all of this, he had been crying.
