Before You: Standalone Contemporary Romance - Plot & Excerpts
I didn’t see it helping. It had never helped before. But I agreed and I went home. And I felt...numb. The safe little world I’d created for myself had changed. People had seen me go off the rails. The mask I wore had slipped and things would change as a result. Dave was like a hummingbird, hovering around me to make sure I didn’t crack up again. He took time off work, took me to my appointments, and made sure I took my pills so I stayed calm. He turned away my friends when I didn’t want to see them, talking in another room in a quiet voice when they called. He protected me from anything and everything. He was my big brother, and for the first time in a very long time, he acted like it. André was still there. I would have thought my episode would have scared him off. But he stayed on. He left early each morning and got back late every night. We didn’t speak. Not once did we address what happened – what he saw and what he learned about my past. Nor did we call an end to whatever it was between us.
