Loise: Hello? Aunt Beck? - Loise whispered while she was in her kitchen. - Amber is here at home... She's really sick, she cried herself to sleep in my arms... Her son of a bitch boyfriend, or ex now I guess. Can you come get her?... It won't be a problem, auntie - Soares was talking to Amber's mother on the phone. After falling asleep in her arms, Loise put Amber in her room and on her bed, closing the door afterwards and going to where she was now. She needed to take the most mature attitude possible in that situation, she felt bad for seeing the redhead suffering, but that moment wasn't Loise's moment, it was Amber's moment. It was the blonde's fault for falling in love with her only friend in decades. - Thank you. I'll leave your name at the front desk. - The blonde hung up the phone and put it on the counter, wiping away her stray tears right after and sitting on the couch to wait for someone to arrive.
