I lost touch with Em very early on after leaving for university; we bumped into each other once or twice in the holidays perhaps, but always when we were in the middle of shopping or something else, and with no time.

That didn't seem like what Olivia needed to hear. It know it's hard for her to keep her head straight right now, but I just want to help. I need to help. I should go back and think of something better to say. "Earth to Alex! You in there or should I just make this a party of one?" Olivia whipped, catching a hint of Alex's wavering strength. Maybe I...
