His words still echoed inside her head, but in her heart, she didn't love Bryan the way she loved Vince. However, he is important to her, so she cannot drive Bryan away.

"You're kidding me, Bryan," Hailey scoffs after a long silence.
"I'm serious, Hail."
Hailey looked up and met Bryan's eyes. She could see how intense his gaze was on her. However, it didn't move her.
"Do you think everything is just like that!?" she snaps at him.
Bryan softens his gaze. He knows it isn't, but he is determined to ask Hailey's forgiveness.
