That Colton was always afraid of Leo should have told me something, Brett thought, laying down his fork.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just…I’m done eating,” Brett said, realizing he’d lost his appetite.
As he pushed the half empty plate away, Brett winced under Leo’s intense gaze. At times those dark eyes seemed to see too much and too clearly.
“Brett. You know I love you, right? But you are not fine. Not for a while, dude.”
“I’m working on it. I’m in therapy and…”
“Sorry, but it’s not enough.” Leo reached over and placed his hand over Brett’s, giving it a squeeze. “I know Colton f****d you up, I was there. I watched you fall apart and I’ve watched you pulling yourself back together. I’m amazed at how strong you are.”
“I wasn’t that strong, not when it really counted.”
