I heard my brother say Tackle’s name when he answered his phone. As much as I wanted to ask about their conversation after the call ended, I couldn’t without Knox getting suspicious.

“I’ve been thinking about you saying you don’t really want to go back to Mom and Dad’s right now, but how long can you realistically stay here?” he asked.

“Bex will be gone another three weeks at least. Maybe longer.”

“Okay, well, that buys us some time to figure out what to do next.” When Knox sat beside me on the sofa and put his arm around me, I rested my head on his shoulder.

“Thanks for all you’re doing. I really appreciate it.”

He laughed and kissed my forehead. “I haven’t done much of anything yet, peanut.”

“Just having you here is huge, but if you have to leave, I’ll understand.” I said the words but prayed he wouldn’t have to.

“I’m not going anywhere. I told you that.” He patted the sofa’s cushion. “Except maybe to an apartment with more than one bedroom. I know you just said you could stay here another three weeks, but I’m thinking we start looking for another place tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to live with me, Knox.”

“Sure, I do. It’s not like I have anywhere else to live. We might as well share a place for the time being.”

I yawned. “You’re the best brother a girl could have.”

“Making up for lost time, peanut. Now, get to bed.”

I was so tired I didn’t have the energy to argue that it was only seven o’clock.
