“And for
about
the
millionth
time in her
life
she felt
an overwhelming
gratitude
for her
best
friend.
Because
she knew
he wouldn’t mention
this
afterward;
she knew
he wouldn’t take
it as
a sign
that she
was
losing
her nerve
or was in
too deep.
There
weren’t many
people
in this
world who
would let
you
be vulnerable
and still
believe
you were
strong.”
