RYLEY
“It’s over, isn’t it?” I asked, watching her wipe away her tears. I knew Colin was coming back, but I thought it was over; I thought she was over him. “What did he say?”
“That wasn’t him I was talking to, it was Gabriella. He tried to call me last night when he got back in town.”
“Okay, but you never answered my question,” I said, trying to keep my calm. I didn’t want to care if she left or not … but dammit to hell I did. I had women lined up left and right who wanted to f**k me, but the one woman I wanted, longed to be with someone else. How the hell did that happen?
“I’m sorry, Ryley,” she cried. “I love him. I’ve always loved him.”
“What about me? If he wasn’t around do you think you could ever love me, past and all?”
She chuckled lightly and placed her hands on my face,
