"Carlos is the best egg," Sarah said with a slight, fond smile. She liked to think of herself as completely in control of her destiny - but more than once during her Outside education she'd called Carlos to help with a mess she didn't want her twin to know about.
She didn't know if it was possible to be fine though, not after the night Gaël had been through. Ty had told her that Ollie had shot Patrick in the head after he'd tried to take a shot at Gaël, and then pointed his gun at Ty when he'd missed. He'd told her that Carlos had carried Gaël to the doctor once the man was dead, and that Gaël had barely been able to cling to consciousness throughout the whole thing. No, she wouldn't be fine, but she'd probably try to convince people she was.
So Sarah just leaned against Gaël again, carefully looping her arm around him and squeezing for a moment before she let go. "Well, you know that's just a golden opportunity knocking at your door," she said. "The apartment above my store's getting a little cramped and I was thinking of apartment shopping soon. You should help me with the rent. It won't be for a month, though. Finding good apartments is a process from hell, even here, and then we have to furnish the place." Which meant Gaël could still hide in his old room, with his old things, and his father close by. If this had happened to her - no matter how badass she thought she was - she'd go straight back to Club Castle and hide with Hadyn and Elisha.
