IAN
You have no time for this…
That was the voice in my head the entire drive. The same mantra over and over again, like a damn heartbeat trying to drown out the ache in my chest.
You don't have time to fall apart now.
But the truth was, I'd already shattered, Kane was also heartbroken. We thought we were healing, we thought she wouldn't be the same Emma. Even though we are relieved she is the same Emma that pain she had left so deep in our hearts.

I gripped the wheel tighter, he was also trying not to break down, he kept pushing that pain and betrayal away but I wasn't accepting.
