Bré Yarro — A Story of Strength, Passion, and Independence
“Bré, you need to eat.”
She barely looked up from her camera. “I did.”
Max leaned against the counter, arms crossed. “Cinnamon Pop-Tarts don’t count.”
Bré sighed, lowering the camera just enough to meet his stare. “They do when you’re busy.”
“Busy working yourself into the ground?”

Max shook his head, pushing a plate toward her. “You can make something that matters after you eat.”
She glanced at the food, then back at him. “This is why you’re my best friend. You enable my bad habits, but at least you feed me first.”

Everett sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and muttered, “I blame Reid Elliott for this.”
