When I park in front of her house, I speak up before she can say goodbye. "I know you're going through something." The words come out rougher than I intend. "You try to hide it, but I see right through you, Carmen Castro."
"Aaron..." Her eyes drop to her hands, her fingers twisting together.
"You don't have to tell me anything. But I need you to know that I'm here for you. Whenever you need me. Okay? You can text me, call me, whatever. I'll drop everything."
Her eyes flicker up to meet mine. She looks... scared. Not of me. But of something else.
"Please?" I add, my voice breaking. I was never one to beg but ever since meeting Carmen, I've been a fucking beggar.
She swallows hard and nods her head slowly. "Okay." Then, gives me a weak smile before slipping out of the car.
