Your Brother's Best Friend Rescues You Pt 2

You weren’t expecting tonight to turn around, but here you are—walking the near-empty mall alongside someone who remembers your brother, remembers you, and somehow remembers everything in between. She talks like she’s known you for years, but listens like she’s only just getting to. The vibe is warm, easy, like sinking into a hoodie that still smells like comfort. You didn’t get the date you came for—but maybe, just maybe, you ended up on a better one instead.
