Keira froze for a moment at those words.
She turned to Erin and saw the tip of her nose turning red, her shoulders shaking slightly as she struggled to hold back tears.
Then Keira looked at Jenkins, noticing her eyes were a little red as well.
Without a word, Keira reached out and patted her shoulder.
Then she turned to Jenkins with a small smile. "Fox’s got a bit of a temper. Cut her some slack."
"I know," Jenkins said calmly. "Don’t worry. I know exactly how she is."
Rebecca came bouncing over, interrupting with her usual energy. "Hey! What’s with the serious faces? You all look like this is some dramatic farewell scene. Come on, let’s drink!"
She grabbed a bottle, took a big gulp straight from it, and then let out a loud hiccup.
Almost instantly, her cheeks flushed red, and her eyes grew hazy. Then, without warning, she threw her arms around Keira and started sobbing. "My lifesaver! Keira, I missed you!"
Rebecca hiccupped between her words. "If it weren’t for you, I’d be dead. You saved my life. And when I came back to Clance, I was terrified people would mock me. But you—" she sniffled—"you gave me the courage to stand tall. Do you know that?"
Keira twitched the corner of her mouth in amusement.
Ellie scoffed. "Geez, how’s she such a lightweight? One drink and she’s down."
Keira chuckled. "She’s always been the goody-two-shoes type. Doesn’t drink much."
Ellie immediately shot back, "I drink, and I’m still a goody-two-shoes."
Keira smirked. "Sure, sure."
She loosened Rebecca’s grip, about to help her onto the couch, but Rebecca suddenly clutched her arm. "Keira, my brother said you’ve been wrapping things up at work, like you’re leaving for good. Are you really not coming back?"
Keira paused.
So that’s why Rebecca suddenly showed up tonight.
Just as she was about to answer, Ellie chimed in, "My brother said the same thing."
Keira let out a laugh, half exasperated. These two never had the latest news, but having well-connected brothers sure made up for it.
Before she could say anything, Rebecca slurred, "Keira, I don’t care where you’re going, and I don’t care if you’ll keep in touch or not. I just— I just want you to be okay. Promise me you’ll be okay, no matter what!"
Ellie turned away at those words, blinking rapidly. Her voice was gruff. "So dramatic. And so damn emotional."
