“What the hell do you mean by that, Jaris? You love her Chance loves her What’s the damn problem?”

“How can I tell her how I feel when I know she and Chance love each other? They’ve known each other for ages I’ve only known her for less than a year I can’t come between them”

“There’s no coo We don’t put any stops on the people we love Look at me My brothers and I love Amber She’s the woinable I love ether, just like our parents”

“But Chance and I aren’t brothers”

“Oh for God’s sakes, Jaris Everybody knows you are just like brothers Being brothers is not just from blood It’s what you mean to one another And there’s no doubt in my mind Chance couldn’t be more of a brother to you if you had the same parents”

“That’s true”

“And you? Willing to leave town just to let hiic, but I know it comes from your heart You love him He is your brother”

“Yes, he is” Is Eure a way through this? Can we really sh

“You’re being very selfish, buddy That’s a fact Have you even thought about asking Kaylyn how she feels? You’re one of the best odda such a chickenshit It’s tio talk to her And you and Chance need to talk Nothing is ever solved by running away You just take it with you”

“I hadn’t even considered the possibility that I could share her with Chance, Emmett”

“Not surprising, since you’re not from here”

“Actually, I never considered having a fa history of bad luck when it coht I’d be a bachelor my whole life”

“Pardon the expression, Jaris Open your eyes Happiness ht in front of you”
