I arrive at the office, but my thoughts are still clouded with everything that happened this morning. Cass's words, her defiance, they all replay in my mind.

Is she using again?

And if she is, how do I help her without pushing her away?

Probably not how I reacted this morning. I sigh. I practically booted her out. I flick her a quick text apologizing and say I hope she will be home when I get home today.

Phillip greets me as I step into our shared workspace. He looks up from his desk, a knowing look in his eyes. "You okay? You look a little...tense." Aside from Jayden and Anne, Phillip knows me the best.

We spent a lot of time together, for work and in our personal lives. We're close work associates again, and friends. I'm building my trust for him back up again. Which is nice.

I sigh, sliding into the chair opposite him. "It's Cass. She didn't come home last night. Went out with Mia again and walked in looking like she'd been through hell. We had an argument. She said she's moving out." Phillip frowns, setting down the papers he was holding. Moving out? That's sudden."

"I know." I rub my temples, trying to fight off the growing headache. "I don't know what to do. She's angry, defensive. Then I got angry and told her I'd help her pack."

"Oh. I see. Well, you two have argued before and survived it."

"I'm worried she might be using again."

"Are you sure?"

"How sure can you ever be? But she isn't acting like the person I've come to know."

"It's tough."
