I wake to the sound of voices. I don't want to open my eyes. I am too comfortable.
"You like her," Ayden is saying and I can hear the credits of the movie in the background.
"Yeah," Landon replies without hesitation. "She's perfect."
"I like her," Ayden tells his brother. "Melody would like her."
I feel Landon's breath catch.
"Thank you. That means a lot."
"It's the truth... seriously never thought this would happen though. I mean, right now, there is a girl asleep in your arms. Don't you see the irony?"
"It's not lost on me," Landon replies, "but she's not like other girls."
"No. I can see that..." Ayden replies. "I should go. I need to talk to mum before she thinks I hate her."
"Yeah," Landon nods his head gently, "don't be too hard on her. She never wanted to hurt us."
