"Yeah?"
"Yeah." His gaze shifts to Emma. "She came here to defend you. Tore me a new one."
"She did?"
He nods. "Said I need to get the fuck over myself and accept your apology."
I can't help but smile. After everything, she's here.

"She's in love with you," Chase says.
She is?
"You love her too?"
"Yeah."
"Fuck, I guess I'm a sucker for romance." He shakes his head.
"Always have been."
He laughs at himself. "Yeah. But… fuck, Hunter, you broke my heart."
"I know."
"I don't fucking care if you know."
"I'm sorry."
He nods. Not accepting the apology but acknowledging it. "It's gonna take me a long time to forgive you."

"You're—"
"Yeah. Called Ryan twenty minutes ago."
"Fuck."
"Guy's moodier than you are."
I chuckle. "It's close."
