To live would be an awfully big adventure
Alexandra Romano
Alexandra watched as Conor took a seat closer to the bed and remained quiet as he briefly told her about her history. Her mouth opened in shock a few times as she listened to the unspeakable horrors her family had done to Conor’s. She bit her lip as she came to terms with her history but yet no memory of this time came back to her , it sounded familiar but more like a bed-time story she had been told as a child rather than a past she had lived through. She didn’t even know where to start or what to ask about what he had told her. Her mind racing with all this new-found knowledge of a life she once had. She remained quiet for a few moments as she tried to come to grips with this.
“Like a modern day Romeo and Juliet” she muttered slightly amused by this statement, only Alex wouldn’t realize that she had once used this line on Conor when they lived in Chicago. “And your family are clearly ok with me?” She asked still slightly confused by the entire scenario. She assumed they were if she was here in Ireland but she still couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t have fled with her remaining siblings to Italy, unless she fell pregnant before her family were killed. The time line was fuzzy to her as she tried to put the pieces together “so Michelle is 10?” She asked in an uncertain tone
