“She’s back,” Milo said softly.
I gulped and braced myself against the doorway. “Yeah, caught that.”
“Just…” she squeezed my arm, “…if you need me, or need to talk… I’m here.”
“I know.” I bent down and kissed her forehead. “Love ya, sis.”
“Hey, Jason…” she reached out and grasped my hand, “please… be careful, all right?”
Too late.
“Sure,” I lied, and walked away feeling as if time was already against me.
