Break – Someday
It isn't obvious at first. Only after they settle in does he notice. He's sure she's a junkie then; from the waxy pallor of her skin, the perspiration, the dark-ringed eyes... and the shaking.
It's only after he begins talking to her in earnest that he realizes his mistake. She has a keen mind, a sharp wit and sarcastic manner, and despite her obvious distress and weakened state, the girl shows determination and strength of character that he can't help but admire.
He knows he'll do anything he can to help her through this.
And maybe they'll meet again someday.
