LAURA'S POV I knew Bryan was up to something because he didn’t talk to me throughout our ride to his estate. He’s a nice person, but the problem is, I’m always on edge when I’m around him for reasons best known to me. Bryan is a walking temptation, but he hasn’t gotten over his late fiancée, and if I give in to his sweetness, he’ll use me and eventually dump me. He’s been stubborn about moving on from his ex. It’s obvious because he has her pictures everywhere and wears their promise ring wherever he goes. So why should I compete with that? I want the man I open up to, to love me for who I am not just for my body. I know it sounds selfish, but I want him to cherish me. I have a crush on him. I know I want him just as much as he wants me, but I also know I have no place in his heart,
