Seeking Refuge

She had hoped that Nox was getting better and that she had seen a sign that he was. But Sage knew better. She didn't resent him for telling her Nox wasn't getting better. She actually appreciated it, but it still hurt. She didn't like it when her friends were hurting. Especially if she couldn't do anything to fix it.

Emily and her man passed, heading downstairs. She let them walk by and kept her head down her wallet still in her hand.

Thanks for telling me. Let me know what I can do. I'll take care of it.

It was better for her to know now than to know later. She kept her wallet in her hands and twisted it around, leaning against the wall.
