Chapter 172

Shelby

The alarm on my phone goes off, letting me know it’s time to end this work day.

SULLY: Are we gonna hang out tonight?

COUNSELOR: Definitely, but I haven’t left yet. I’m fixing to, though. Keep in mind I need to go by the hospital to see Montana. I’ll be home right after. Do you want to come to my place, or me to yours?”

SULLY: You make the decision.

COUNSELOR: I’ll see ya in a little while.

SULLY: Be safe, Counselor.

The way he always tries to make sure I’m okay goes straight to my heart. There’s been no one in my life that’s ever cared about my safety the way he does. If I had someone like that in Houston, I probably wouldn’t be in Laurel Springs right now. Just goes to show, things happen how they’re supposed to.
