Bullet-Proof Smile
He shoots her and she dies.
Only it doesn't end there, it should, but it doesn't.
However unintentionally Alex still drags him down with her.
She makes a wish, and maybe it wouldn't be a complete lie to say he's holding his breath and praying.
He wakes to her bullet-proof smile, the one he is half in love with even though it scares him. She laughs, cries.
She comes with a ready made family. Molly thinks he's funny, she laughs whenever he swears at the toaster, especially when her Mum is within hearing range.
His life begins with a bullet.
