Soulmate

"Mandie, I'm just glad you're okay."

A sigh came from the other end of the line. "Thanks, Brian. Me too."

"Yeah, if you're out again and some creepy guy's bothering you, don't hesitate to call me. I will be there in a heartbeat and the guy will regret the day he was born."

"Okay, I will. You know, it was so scary when the guy who hit on me at the bar was waiting by my car after I left. Glad I was able to flag down a cop on a Segway to get him to go away."

"Yeah...I would hate to know what intentions he had with you. There are some real creeps out there, so you want to be careful going to bars, especially alone," Brian warned.

"I know."

"Don't forget, though - if you need me, call me."

"I will. I'm so thankful to have such a protective big brother like you."

"Aww, sis. Of course. That's what I'm here for. Anyway, I'm supposed to go out later, but if you'd like me to come by and keep you company, I can do that."

"No, no. I'll be fine by myself," Mandie reassured him. "I'll probably find something to binge on Netflix. You say you're going out?"

"Yeah, I'm hanging out with Lexi. We're gonna visit our old neighborhood for Victorfest."

"Oh wow, Brian…you've been into her since you were in church youth group together. You're still stuck on her?"
