"Evie, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have ... and your car... oh gosh your car.."—
"Shhh... it's ok, Sami," she cooes. "I've been saving up for a new car anyhow. This will give me the perfect excuse."

"Sami, I don't give a damn about the car," Evie says again. "You just gotta be careful. More careful. Ok?"
"O-okay," I respond shakily. "I'm sorry, Evangeline. I'm sorry for everything. You're the bravest person I know, and it was unfair of me to say you didn't have a lot to deal with... because you deal with a lot everyday, and, and I love you."
"Aw, little sister," Evie says. "I love you too. So, so much." She reaches over to hug me again, and we cling to each other for a few seconds, and I feel... safe.
