Message to Brigit

[Emily Makerith]

A few days after her exile from Clarion Call, Brigit receives a text.

Hi B. Look, I won't pretend what you did wasn't awful. But I don't want to think that you can't be helped, and I don't want you to be alone. I've done that, and it's the worst. If you want to come by some time, just let me know. Em xxx

Okay. Evening work for you? About seven? I can sort food.

[Brigit]

Hours stick by yet again.

Okay.
