They hadn’t been there for her like Brae or Theo would have. Like Jiyu might… If Capone was willing to give her that level of trust. To be that vulnerable. She didn’t feel quite ready for that yet.

A lot I haven’t told a lot of people. And maybe one day I’ll be able to share it but right now… Right now I just want to… Be here.”

In this moment. With you.
