"Um no it's ok." Leah added quickly. She didn't mind Cael holding her hand. It actually felt nice. She just didn't want him to think of it in a romantic way. After all, Leah was damaged goods. She felt like she'd been broken beyond repair afer Sam, and she still wasn't sure whether she would ever feel that way about someone again. Leah sighed. Probably not.
She looked into Cael's eyes. "I'm really sorry about your sister. That must have been tough on you. I know that as much as my brother annoys me sometimes, I don't know what I would do without him." Instantly she felt guilty about being so harsh with her brother earlier today. Any anger she felt towards him disappeared. She felt the need to go apologize to her brother and tell him how much she loves him, because she couldn't bear the thought of losing him and leaving things on such bad terms.
"I think I should go. I really need to talk to my brother. You see, we got into a huge fight just now over something really stupid, and I really want to make up with him. I just can't stay angry with him. I'm sorry but maybe we could see each other again sometime?"
