Cade didn't usually like talking about his past -- mostly because it hurt so much, but he had started to learn that talking was probably a good idea. Even if it was just to get in a word when he talked to his brother. Talk about someone who just rambled to fill the silence. But Cade found if he talked about things, Nox listened. And he had life experiences that Cade could never imagine to add to the conversation. His life had been rough. A lot rougher than Cade's.
"Laney I met when I was in pre-med in college. She's an art history major. We met at a frat party. It was the only party my friends dragged me to. From that point on it Laney and I hanging out. She didn't much care if I stayed in to study as long as she could lie on my bed, with her headset and wallet and jam. She'd make me dance with her so I had to stop dancing, but it was worth it. She was my biggest cheerleader."
Cade leaned forward and kissed Anna on top of the head. "You are fine. It's good to talk. Something I learned from my little brother who never shuts up."
