“He hasn’t.”
“Then maybe this is the best time to have Adrian in yours?”
“Right…”
“You need to give him a chance and stop pushing him away. Look at everything he’s doing for you. You can’t continue on this way, it’s not healthy. You’re only digging yourself into an early grave, and I’m talking emotionally.”
I inhaled a ragged breath, knowing she was right. “I don’t know if I believe in love anymore, Belle.”
She peered around her phone, her gaze catching the framed picture on his nightstand.
“Is that his brother?”
“Yeah.”
“The Drake blood makes some handsome men.”
“I know.”
“Do you know anything about Cade?”
“He married his college sweetheart, and they have two kids.”
“What aren’t you telling me?”
“He named his baby girl after me. It’s her birthday next week.”
“Sounds like he hasn’t forgotten about you either.”
“That’s what Adrian says.”
“Maybe you should start listening to him.”
“You don’t know what you’re asking.”
“I know more than anyone knows what you’re going through.”
Her and Tristian managed to find their way back to each other, despite the odds against them.
“From an outsider looking in, just staring at the photo… There’s a lot of history there, Paige.”
“Maybe Adrian came back into your life for more than just protecting you against this stalker.”
I shook my head. “He doesn’t love me.”
“How do you know?”
I thought back on that day. The evening everything between us came to a head. Over ten years, and it still haunted me.
Cade’s hurt.
Adrian’s words.
My heart…
I lost both of the men who ever meant anything to me. All in one shot. I couldn’t forgive Adrian. It was too hard.
Not when he looked me right in the face.
