Tom stared out the windshield for a while, then took a deep breath and looked at his sister. His eye was misty and conflicted. "...I don't know what to do," he admitted softly. "What would we say to them?"

Lily took his hand and held it. "I don't know... Ask for the truth, I guess. We deserve to know."

"Do we, though?" Tom asked, holding her hand tightly. "Maybe we should have left this alone. This has gotten way too personal, way too... intense."
Lily watched the road intently. "It's hard to imagine them lying to us about something this big. We're adults now. I get it when we were kids, we probably couldn't have handle it. But now..." She sighed. "It feels wrong to have heard it from Rory."

Tom nodded slowly. "It does, but..." He lowered his head into his hands, trying not to cry. "I don't want it to be true. Any of this. If we go talk to them, it... it will be confirmed."
"Yeah... So you just want to live in ignorance? Pretend that our parents are perfect?"

He took a deep breath. "...No," he eventually said softly. "I just wish it wasn't this bad."
She nodded. "Yeah. Me too. I guess I never had thought that our parents would continue to lie to us. To...not tell us something this important! They even brought us gifts, remember?"

"Those little planes, from the airport..." Tom said softly. "...But when should they have told us then? Would there ever have been a good time?"
She bit her lip. "No. There never really was. We never brought it up again cause it was just a normal trip to us."
