It was nearly christmas. Chuck had jetted of somewhere the night of the Cotillion and sent two word in a text.
I'm sorry.
I asked him where he was and if he was okay. I know he's an ass but he's still my brother. There was no reply but I checked and he landed safely though they wouldn't tell me where. I was at the Constance Billard-St Judes Bizzar watching the choir.
