Summary: Broke counts each stroke out in her head.
Brooke brushes her hair a hundred times, just to make sure that it always has the perfect sheen. She counts each stroke out in her head.
Some days she wishes she didn't need to do this. She watches Sam stumble into the bathroom, hair and clothes in disarray, and thinks about what it would be like to jump out of bed and throw on whatever's there. Wonders what it would be like not to worry about what everyone else thinks. (Doesn't think about kissing the toothpaste from the corner of Sam's mouth.)
But most days she lets the climbing count fill the silence of her head.
