Nepenthe (Bracing for Love #2)
“Death, especially suicide, scare the hell out of me. I've seen the destruction any type of death leaves behind, and to take my own life is the last thing I want to burden my siblings with. I like life. I like living. I'm even happy sometimes, but that doesn't change things overall. What I do know is that I don't like how things are right now or how to make them different. Something that appears simple to others, like Lucy, isn't that simple. It's complex and confusing.
Olivia mulls over my word...s as if she's debating whether I'm really bluffing or not. Finally, she speaks. “I'm a good listener.”
“For what? Me to talk about my feelings? I don't do that.” I shouldn't give her a response at all. Nor should I continue with, “I don't have to talk to you just because you helped me.” Shouldn't she be at least a little pissed that I haven't thanked her yet?
“You should,” she simply answers.
“I should talk to you because you helped me?” She's asking too much of me. That's no easy task for me.MoreLess
