Before the Last Bullet — The Umbrella Gift

He'll get bored. Then he won't even look at me. Watch where you're going! Forget it.

He's probably half asleep from working the fryer all night. Nobody wants to come near me. What are you doing here? Take it.

You're getting soaked. I know who you are, Noah. Your family owns those hotels. Why do you keep coming back?

What could you possibly want from me? If I get used to this, he gets bored, I'm the one who gets hurt. Keep your umbrella. I brought it for you.

You don't have to give it back. Keep it and throw it out. It's yours. I can't afford to throw things away. You can play the generous rich boy and leave when you get bored.

I still have to live like this. Last time, I handed him the umbrella and ran off. I never stayed long enough to hear any of this. Then tell me.

What do you want? Nothing from you. I care about you, Ethan.
