I didn’t know how I would make this up to him, but I knew that I would have to figure something out.

“I don’t know how to thank you,” I said quietly as we walked out of the store. “How can I make it up to you?”

Edrick stopped and turned to face me. Even through his mask, I could tell that he was frowning.
