It worked.

“Glad you didn’t.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to be broken?”

Why had I done it?  I’d tried to explain it to her so many times.  I couldn’t bring myself to do it again.

“Doesn’t matter.”

I mean, if the question is “why did you bother to heal me”, there’s plenty more explanations to that beyond “because you’re my friend whether you like it or not”.

Such as “you were going to have Bentley break me”.

Tattletale pointed down at the water just behind me.  I turned around and looked.  Where I’d landed on my back, the water was changing from red to a relatively clear state.  ‘Relatively’ only because the water hadn’t been that clear to begin with.  “Guess it’s working.”

Nice!

When Taylor turns back to Lisa, she sees her standing there with her lips puckered.
