 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
It was only natural that Jude knew that Keighley was in distress. What sort of brother would he be if he hadn’t been able to spot that immediately. Before he knew it, he was enveloped in a big hug but it wasn’t the type the siblings usually shared. Those were light and full of warmth; this one was full of sadness. Without wasting a second, Jude hugged Keigh back, holding her tight and not saying anything. When she was ready to speak, she would.
And when she did, Jude knew that she was in tears. His heart was incapable of breaking any further for her so his soul broke when the reason was revealed for her misery. “You did the right thing,’’ he reassured gently. “She’ll come around. I’m guessing she asked you for time to process?” It was exactly what he had needed when his heart had been broken during that time he had been friendzoned by Evan. “Come on in, Keigh. It’s really cold out there. Let's head to the kitchen and I'll make you some hot cocoa.” |
