“And your solution to this problee?”

“Not his dog anyht him to me, remember?”

“Yes To hold for Ronan until he got back” Georgia picked up her coffee and leaned back in her chair

Georgia’s blond hair was athat ended at her jawline Her eyes were a darker blue, her body curvier and her heart a little more hardened But she was loyal to the bone and Laura’s best friend as well as her sister

“What’s this really about, Laura? Are you trying to get back at Ronan?” She cradled her cup between her hands “Teach him a lesson? Hurt him like he did you when he broke up with you?”

“I wouldn’t do that,” she said, a little stung that Georgia would think she could “Besides, he didn’t hurt me I always knew that affair would end”

“Sure, but it’s better to be the ender not the endee”

In spite of everything Laura laughed a little “Those are not even words”

“They should be,” Georgia said with a quick grin “Anyway, I’, this is not only about the Beast and you know it The least you could do is admit it”

Why should she? Laura frowned, opened her laptop and pushed the power button The fan whirred and lights flashed as the coht about what Georgia had said Maybe it did sting to know that Ronan could end their affair so easily and then just walk aithout a backward glance Maybe it had hurt to know that he hadn’t felt what she had Maybe she still experienced a twinge of pain at all she had lost in the last couple of months

“Maybe it’s time to consider a convent,” she mused

“Yeah,” Georgia said on a short laugh “Because you do so ith authority”

Frowning at her sister, Laura was forced to concede that Georgia had a point After all, if she did well taking orders, she would still be working for Manny Toledo’s real estate office instead of trying to build an eia

Beast snored frouilt rippled through her before she deliberately squashed it Ronan just didn’t want to adht, that Beast would be better off with her
