Matthew soothingly rubbed his thumb over the back of Haley's hand, sliding a little closer to her.<br/>"I'm so sorry for your loss,"<br/>he said softly.<br/>"I've lost a couple neighbors and friends in all of this but no direct family members. A few of my cousins may or may not be dead and I don't know about my uncle, aunt and cousins. I haven't lost any siblings though."<br/>He gently wrapped an arm over her shoulders, leaning a bit closer.<br/>"Do you wanna' talk about it?"<br/>Just then, Elizabeth joined them. He glanced up from his seat at her.<br/>"Sure. I'm not that great at consoling people but another girl might be able to help."
