Setting: near her room, afternoon

Edan wanted to run from Brady’s room, to put as much space between them as possible, but her room wasn’t actually that far from his, just around the following corner. Deep breaths, she chided herself gently, though, as always, her internal monologue sounded more like her brother than her own voice. Walk slower. Even steps to get there, lower lip pulled between her teeth to hold back tears.

He’d named his son after Evan. In honor of the man that saved his life. And he was here. He’d let himself get so far off course. She needed Evan here. She needed him to talk to the soldier, to remind him why his life was worth every breath. Edan knew he’d have the right words, the words that she didn’t have, not now that she didn’t even want to be around people. By the time she got to the door she was shaking, one hand flat against it to try and will the nerves away, to forget the part of her skin that felt heated from his touch, a result going so long without proper contact with another person. There was no way she could open the door with her hands shaking like this.
