“Ugh,” Brooke let out an annoyed sigh as she came to a halt in front of the other. “Just get this over quickly. What do you want,” she asked lowly, not even looking in the other’s direction. Anything to avoid having to make eye contact. Instead, she kept her eyes trained on the milling crowd in front of her. In anticipation of this very conversation, Brooke had been trying to avoid the other. But now that they’d waited for her at the bottom of the stairs, there was no way around it any more. “Rip it off like a band-aid.”

“I gave up waiting for you.”  Brooke looks up at the other, her expression difficult to read. “After a while, it seemed pretty clear you weren’t coming back.” Crossing her arms over her chest, her lines in a grim line. “Did you even have any plans to come back? I mean, why did you even come back, huh? After all this time, what’s the point of showing up now?”

“You okay, there? You look like you could use a little help?” Perched on top of the low wall separating two properties, Brooke rose her eyebrows at the stranger. It was her favourite spot to sit, giving her the chance to people watch in relative peace. And while her intention was not to get involved, she couldn't just stand idly by when someone was clearly struggling. “I won’t bite, I promise...Unless it helps?”
