Watching Ryder and Jason say goodbye to there familes is hard. I feel the collective breaking of hearts, I feel Kate , Emily and the kids fear, especially Drew. Hearing him refer to losing Ryder like he lost his dad was soul crushing.
Emily still rubs me the wrong way but her and those kids deserve someone like Ryder and Ryder deserves a family and happiness. I was planning on speaking to Emily after dinner, offering her the things I had retrieved from her apartment as a peace offering.
I need to at least let her know there is a peace offering. I need to at least attempt to mend that bridge before we go to war. I can't have discord in the ranks, it makes us weak. Ryder and I need to get back in the same page. But I watch Ryder as he watches her leave instead of trying to men
