Chapter 36: Also an Orphan

"You know, I appreciate your coming here. I somehow don't feel lonely with you around." Stacy said as she moved over to place some dishes into the dishwasher.

"Believe me, I'm the boring type. I've always been lonely all my life." Alex said.

"Really? What about your parents or any of your siblings? Aren't you living with any of them?" She asked.

"Nah, never done that before. I've been an orphan all my life." He gave his reply.
