Maybe Lachlan was right and this was another instance of Nick manipulating me. But I had to try.

I’d lived the past several years with the regret of not doing enough.

I couldn’t have this on my conscience, too.

Even if it meant losing the best thing that had ever happened to me.

Lachlan should have understood why I had to do this. If he couldn’t support my decision, couldn’t respect my decision, maybe he wasn’t the man I thought he was.

“I have to do this.”

He squeezed his eyes shut, every inch of his body so tense I feared he was about to shatter into tiny pieces.

Then he stormed out of my room, slamming the door behind him.
