Her voice broke and he moved to face her. Her eyes closed and she shook her head when he rested his hand on her shoulder. He stepped back, giving her space to find strength. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
“Slade, I have to figure this out.”
“I’ll help.”
“You have your plate pretty full with Caleb, your mom and your job.”
He laughed a little at that. “And you volunteered to watch Caleb. I won’t hold you to that.”
“I want to watch him.”

I’ve been afraid to look at him, get attached to him, because he’s all I have left of my best friend. I should have been in his life, hugging him and being the person Vicki would have wanted me to be.”
“We did what we had to do to survive.”
