Rhett paused He looked around, seeing to he and Remy were in a lovers’ spat He turned back to Re that would cal”
Re problem, you idiot”
At that, Rhett raised his eyebrows He couldn’t recall ever hearing Re anyone a bad name Damn He’d really pissed her off
Her voice only tightened as she went on, snarling at hi around theive her the whole goddaive her that She’ll take any little piece of you that you give her, because for some unknown reason she loves you”
She loves you…Rhett’s chest tightened, and t
he room spun a little “Am I really that terrible of a person, Remy?” he asked in his own defense
“As a friend, no,” she said, and some of the heat left her eyes “You’re wonderful We all love you I love you But you’re not the guy ants s in the arms of his wife”
She wasn’t wrong—Rhett couldn’t i anyone forever He’d never lived with a woman He wasn’t even sure how that would work Where would they live? Her house? His? It seemed easier to keep separate houses…separate lives He liked his space Needed it “I understand that you’re worried about her, Reain, softly but not weakly, “but Kinsley seeht now”
“Of course she is,” Re is better than nothing at all”
Rhett’s chest took a direct hit at that He knehat sacrifice meant He hadn’t wanted that for Kinsley, and yet now, he couldn’t seem to stay away
So must’ve crossed his face because Remy stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder “No one will say it to you because they’re all secretly hoping that this thing between you and Kinsley works out Hell, if I thought it could, I wouldn’t say a da either”
He’d been running from this truth, but it was there, always on his mind too “You think we’re doomed to fail?”
“I think you could have it all Have the life that she, and you, deserve, but not like this” She snapped her fingers “You want this, Rhett? Truly want this? Then do the one thing you never do”
He arched an eyebrow “Which is?”
“Work at it Truly Work out your shit and figure out what’s going on in here” She tapped his chest Hard “Then, after that, marry her”
