Ava was fumbling with Louis' car keys with her free hands when her brother pulled her into a very sudden hug, "I-" she really wasn't expecting this, and she wasn't sure whether she should be happy. Louis was full of surprises, and she wasn't sure whether it was him or the alcohol in his system who was in charge.
Ava hugged him back, though. It has been long since he last showed her any form of affection. Real or not, it felt good. The hug calmed her down a bit, enough to bring some sense into her. Over Louis' shoulder, Ava saw the morgue door swung closed. Luke wasn't there anymore, so maybe it was safe enough to tell her brother what had scared the world out of her, "Louis," she whispered slowly, "I need you to listen to me really carefully."
Ava closed her eyes shut. She had considered keeping it a secret, but they were siblings. Louis deserved to know the truth, "Dad didn't die in an accident.. He was murdered."
