The answers should have been there with ease, but that was just Ryan wishing on stars on a rainy night. It was impossible from the very beginning, but he still had to try. He had already gotten to his office and the frown plastered on his face was evidence of how disappointed he was.
Maybe he expected more from Lia or maybe he expected that the woman wouldn't go to war with the only man that ever loved her. Then again, she reminded him of Dylan, the man he was still in love with, four years after his passing.
Dylan Coach was an understanding boyfriend who knew how to make things better. He was more or less what Lia had been to Alexander. The only difference was the sister had an army, and the brother, he was slaughtered for knowing the truth.
That shit shouldn't have happened. Maybe it was the only thing keeping Ryan sane. Or the only thing stopping Ryan from trying to go head to head with Lia. Sure, he wouldn't win the fight, but it was worth a try, yeah?
