There’s nothing to go back to in Los Angeles. I want to crawl into my bed and cry. I want to fall apart in my apartment. I want to be home.
But without Ryan, I don’t have a home.
I don’t belong anywhere.
My damn cell buzzes again.
Dean stays teasing. He motions hand it over.
I do.
I need to be here.
I need him screening the message.
I need someone making this okay.
The call ends. Right away, the screen flashes with a text.
Ryan: Penny
That’s all I see.
Her name.
Penny is naked in my bed.
Penny told me she’s in love with me.
Penny is dead to me.
I don’t have a clue what it is.
Dean unlocks my cell with the password.
I raise a brow.
He shrugs. “Like you don’t know mine.”
I know everyone at the shop’s passwords. But I never use them. Even when it’s tempting. “I plead the fifth.”
He reads from a text. “Penny came by my room.” His eyes go wide. “Wait. Shit.”
“See.” My heart sinks like a stone. She came by his room. God knows what they did after.
I don’t get a say.
I ended this.
I broke up with him.
I have no right to hurt over him fucking Penny.
But he’s better than this.
He deserves more than this.
He deserves everything.
