She turns to face me fully. She’s trembling a little. “You promised to be a good friend to Levi. And you broke that promise. Just like you deserted me tonight.” She shakes her head, and my throat tightens.

Little did she know, my promise to him came first. Protect her over everything, Michael, please.
