Taken By My Brother's Dangerous Best Friend
I stared right back, just as lost in her.
"No even ifs. This makes me your girlfriend," she said, taking the pendant between her fingers. "Harmon Chancellor is a man of his word. Are you, Chance?"
Final amendment. Stay forever. The pendant I had no business giving her as her fucking second brother. They were promises of sorts, I suppose. All I love yous in their own way.
I still couldn't say the words. No girlfriend status either. I had to believe not making us official would ease the heartbreak, even if just a little, if I didn't make it back to her.
