Chapter 13

Emryn,

You’re right. I’ve been holding back. I know how much you have going on right now, and I didn’t want to add to that burden. But that’s not our deal. We agreed to communicate—to share the weight of each other’s burdens.

I’m scared. There I said it, and believe me—that was hard to admit. It makes me feel weak to be scared. I’m supposed to be manly and strong—able to fix everything—but I can’t fix this. And I just got to know my dad. I’ve spent years being angry at him. I thought we had years left, but what if we don’t? What do I do then?

Love you,

Brooks
