Solomon shoved his hands in his pockets, "I was hoping to be gone before your father came to tell you the news..." He sighed, "You should attend the funeral Holden...She may have been..evil, but nonetheless she is still your mother." "I know he knows..."

He ran his hand through his still partially wet hair, "If you'd rather just leave and forget about it, then that's fine as well." He knew Alicia would be upset if he didn't convince Holden to go, but he just wanted to get to the other side of the world. Away from Jaclynn and her range of power.
