She sat next to me. “Walker told me about Ember, and Whit filled in some more blanks.”
I waited for her to give me her opinion. I was hoping she wouldn’t because I really did not have the patience to keep my cool right now.
“I think it’s pretty cool that you are trying to help her.”
“You do?” I hadn’t expected that.
She shrugged, “Yeah, everyone deserves another chance. Maybe she just needs a chance to have someone really care about her so she gets over whatever she’s going through.”
I didn’t know what to say, “Thank you.”

It was nice to see that you are capable of loving someone, Colt. You both deserve to be happy.” Josey squeezed my hand again and then kissed my cheek.
