Thanks be to Ms. EBT.


My heart pounds, and my ears get hot.

I take my time but manage to look at her.

"You know about that?"

She squeezes my hand.

"No."

And now I'm confused.

"I just know something happened. Edward…"

She starts to cry but calms herself.

"Edward never said anything, but I could tell. She just left and didn't really keep in contact with anybody at first. I figured something pretty big must've happened for you two to stop speaking to each other. You were so close… like sisters."

"I did a pretty messed up thing. She had every right to cut me out of her life."

"Leave it to my big brother to bring you back together, huh?" she says as she cries.
