Tyler had never been a roll with the punches kind of guy. He was a fast thinker, and he talked faster...he was just working on it now. They were heading in the right direction still, but it was the mention of her parents that broke him. He couldn't imagine her having to tell them all of this, that the guy just wasn't around, and there was just this overwhelming feeling of guilt, even without the test results in his hand. They got about a block away from where they were going before he spotted a space to park on the street and found himself pulling over into it and turning the engine off.

"Fuck," he mumbled under his breath. She really was almost just a kid.
