I grabbed his face and looked into his face. “Meer, you cannot keep beating yourself up for what happened. You protected the house and got the girls out of there. Capri would never leave you to hold it down alone, and I thank God that my sister was hardheaded that night because shit could have been different. I want you to stop punishing yourself for protecting your family because Capri isn’t punishing you.” I kissed his head and gave him a tight squeeze. “Appreciate you, B.”
