Yay! She's back!
My favorite quote is definitely the last one:
"Brendon, I'll be damned if you don't sing that song once you're better."
Ryan was awake. Brendon smiled sadly at his friend, before he whispered, "Me too, Ry. I'll be damned, too."
I love how it gives an awesome insight to how Brendon's feeling with just two lines. =).
Great chapter! More soon!
