For three weeks I pulled double duty going back and forth between Permanent Marks and my sister’s soon-to-open photography studio. During that time, Ever tried to approach me a few times, more so in the past week than all the rest. I don’t know why I was so scared of that initial confrontation, but I was. Kane was always there to step between us and send her on her way though. I could tell his interference was putting a strain on their friendship, and I didn’t want that to happen.

“Has anyone been in to ask about the help wanted sign yet?” I asked my sister as she moved her background hanger to a new spot.

“Yes and no. No one I would hire has been through those doors.”

“That’s good.”

Beth stopped and turned to me. “What do you mean by ‘that’s good,’ Gretchen.”

I tried for nonchalance as I shrugged my shoulders. “I think I’d rather work here and just go visit the guys once in a while.”

“What? No. What did that girl do now?” When I didn’t say anything my sister quite literally got in my face. “Gretchen! What did she do? I thought they had a talk with her about giving you some space for a while.”

“They did. I’m sure they think it’s been a while already. Listen, I know it’s stupid, but I’m scared. I don’t want to know if she hates me, blames me, or…”

“Come on, be honest with me. It’s none of those things.”

“I’m afraid the moment I talk to her all of the hurt and pain is going to come back and just swamp me, Beth,” I finally admitted out loud. “I can’t go back to that place. It felt like I was dying every single day only to wake up and go through it all over again without being reunited with my loves.”

“Aw, sister of mine, come here.” Beth took me in her arms and held me for a few minutes. “I agree that I don’t want you back in that dark place, but are you sure you really want to give up your job over there? You love it.”

“I do, but is it worth it if I’m always on edge, waiting to fall apart again?”

“If you want the job, you know it’s yours.” My sister didn’t want me dwelling on the darker emotions anymore, I could tell, because she had agreed way too quickly. “Can you carry these out front? It’s all stuff that needs to go out front in the lobby.” She then proceeded to pile boxes up in my arms until I felt like I was balancing a jumbling tower of shit that would fall if I breathed wrong. “There you go. Look at that, you’ll be able to do it in one trip while I finish this box for my inventory.”

“Yeah, okay,” I grunted as I moved from the back room to the lobby just as the bells over the door sounded. I guess we hadn’t locked the door behind us when I’d come in earlier.
