Page 75 of Some Saviors Can Break You

Her hope was dashed when she saw the text was from her brother and not Eli.

When was this hoping that she was going to see him and hear from him going to pass?

She’d never been in love before, she’d been too afraid that she would end up in the very position she found herself in right now.

Since she’d hardly responded to him after meeting Eli and she felt bad about it, she locked the door behind her, then sank down into her favorite armchair and read his text.

Fletcher

Hey, little sis, I'm worried about you

you're not yourself lately what’s up?

Florence

Sorry, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks

Fletcher

I already heard from Jake so

consider that before you think

about lying to me

Florence couldn’t help but smile at that. That was one of the things she loved most about her brother, he was a straight shooter, he never beat around the bush, and he expected the same from her.

Florence

How much did he tell you?

Fletcher

Everything

You need me to come up there and beat

this Eli guy up for you?

Florence

While I appreciate the offer I'm okay

Fletcher

You want me to come up and hang out with you?

Florence

That’s sweet, Fletch, but I'm exhausted

I'm just going to crash and I'm sure

things will look better in the morning

Fletcher

I'm worried about you
