“It might be, but it’s what I think. He’s not right for you. Never was. I
think you’re wasting your time. Life really is too short to purposefully make
yourself unhappy. For any reason. You have this place. You throw yourself

Wynn crossed his arms. “Trust me. They’ll get over it.”
Kiera bit the inside of her cheek. She couldn’t even say that Wynn didn’t

Kiera forced herself to shrug casually. “Fine. She’s good. I’ll admit it.
She stays.” At least she could do that for herself. Show her feelings and
hormones who was really in charge. Her brain. Her common sense. Her
good judgement. “Oh, and, Wynn?”
