Scott was so ready for push back from Alex, but it doesnât come. At a lost for words, Scott rubbed his eyebrow and just stared with a puzzled look on his face. Was this a dream? It had been so hard to convince him before, what changed? Forgive Scott for being skeptical, but heâd been waiting for this for so long he didnât think itâd actually happen.
âWait, really?â he finally managed to ask, âYouâre going to stay?â
Scottâs surprise shouldnât come as a shock. How many times had Alex argued back? How many times had he just gone again anyway? Especially before Scott had been at the Institute? Too many, if his brother was begging him just to stay. And yet, Alex did feel a twinge of surprise.
âYes. Really. Iâll stay.âÂ
