“And then what?” I ask her, trying to keepwill happen to you? It’s either death or prison, and the end of us”

“This isn’t about you” She slides out of bed and turns on a bedside lareat er life to live Will Roan treated him like he orthless and disposable”

She picks up her panties fro our first night together to end in a fight

“Your dad didn’t deserve that,” I say “But ould he want you to do? Would he want you going after this guy, or would he want you to live a happy life?”

She narrows her eyes at me as she reaches behind her back to clasp her bra “You didn’t know my dad You don’t kno it felt to knoas about to die Or how it felt to lose hie so I could work as a waitress to help support my brothers You don’t have any idea what my dad would want”

“I do, though” I slide out of bed and pick upso careless with her life “If he loved you, and I think he did, he wouldn’t want this”

“I want it,” Gia says fiercely “I want it ht years, I’ve fantasized about seeing the look in Will Roan’s eyes the second he realizes he’s about to die The world will be a better place without him in it”

“It won’t be a better place without you in it, though Don’t you give a shit about that? About me?”

I walk closer to her, frustration and anger coursing through my body

“I figured it was because you had coive you a divorce, not that you have a death wish It’s insane, Gia”

Fury lights her eyes as she points at me and says, “You of all people should understand Why did you go after Hunter Paul like you did the other night?”

“It had nothing to do with Alana”
