I don't know why that is either, but I'm not letting you walk in there alone. “No buts! I love you, Maddie, and I can see you're absolutely petrified of him. “No goddamn buts!” She shakes her head vehemently. I don't wanna know what you mean when you say 'he'll do whatever it takes to get the money he needs' so I ain't gonna find out! When you meet your brother, you ain't gonna be alone.” “Hell f**king no!” She explodes, standing up. When I meet him, I'll have to hand it over. “Then he can get his own damn money!” She squeezes my hand. He'll do whatever it takes to get the money he needs to feed his habit.” “You don't tell my brother anything, Megs. I look at her, almost sadly, because compared to me, she's led a sheltered life. “So tell him that when he gets here, and he'll leave.” He wants money, and I won't give it to him. He's made sure of that.” I look out the window. I accept the glass and sip it, looking down. “You wanna tell me what that was about?” she says softly, handing me a glass of water she must have gotten sometime while I was calming down.
