Jordan turned her attention from the blue sky above to look at their youngest companion, smiling weakly as she made her approach. She could tell Charlie was concerned and should have known better than to assume that she wouldnāt be followed out here. She really had been planning to just take a moment and then suck it up and deal with it. No matter how they had changed or how they fought, they all dealt with so much together and that connected them.

It wasnāt like I didnāt accidentally egg him on with the whole misunderstanding. It meant a lot to see you again, both of you even if it wasnāt the ideal meeting that I had imagined when returning.ā, Jordan admitted.

She placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, now the one to be concerned and silently letting the other know that she could lean on her for support. She didnāt like the way she avoided her gaze and the words she said instantly made her guts twist as if there was a rock sitting in her stomach but she didnāt let it show as she spoke as clear and confident as ever,
āCharlie, whatās wrong? You know you can talk to me about anything.ā
