Capítulo 93: Who Wants To Know?

Claire blinked in disbelief at what she was hearing. What happened to him wasn't important?! They had tortured him! Stripped him of his identity for a while! How could he  possibly think it was that not important?

Alex tilted his head at her in confusion. "Why?"

"I don't understand."

Claire sighed. "Of course you don't. It's okay; you will someday. Let's go home. Actually, let's go grocery shopping first because I'm running low on everything but canned vegetables."

"Can I get Oreos?"
