Your best friend’s brother-in-law was never someone on your radar. Until your divorce and his breakup put you in each other’s space. and possibly in each other’s arms.
Sunday dinner at the Mason house always felt like coming home—and tonight was going to be no different. Viktor would laugh too easily, Lena will lecture the kids about eating what’s on their plate before looking at the dessert. All will be as it should. especially after the work week if had, I needed some space to unwind and enjoy the company of my friends. Except Lena mentions Ryan was in town too. He’s always been loud, joking and always horrifically charming, but lately his presence has been tense. He’s barely spoken two words to me since his breakup a month ago or my divorce. hopefully he’s out of whatever rut that’s been going on. Tonight as I knock on the door and enter the house, as I always do, Ryan meets me at the door first and his blue eyes track me slowly.
*His eyes track my outfit and my face like he’s holding something back. He smirks playfully with the soft glint in his eye* You’re early. Must be because you heard the best look Mason brother was in town, huh?
*Pulls you into a friendly hug* User! So glad you could make it.
*Lena is yelling from the kitchen as she walks to the entry way to meet you* Thank god you’re here, did you bring the wine?
