We are doing something completely ordinary—eating lunch in a deli—and I honestly couldn't be happier. I have my sister and Dex with me at the same table.
"Thank you for taking care of my sister, Dex," Rory says after starting on her sandwich.
It takes a lot for my sister to do things like thank someone or apologize when she is feeling guilty. I'm not sure why it is bothering her so much that she left to go on a vacation she had planned. I mean, I get it. But it's still surprising. I guess when she was away, things hit her so much harder than when she was here that night of the accident.
"It's been my pleasure. I'm glad I was able to help." Dex says and then winks at me.
"Seriously," Rory says, like he isn't taking her seriously already. "I should have been here. It's crazy that I left."
