Quinn

“What the fuck am I doing?” I ask Liam as I slam my hand onto the counter. “Why am I going back there?”

“I don’t know. I guess you should stay here since it’s not going your way, right?”

I’d really like to punch him in the face, but since I’m standing in his kitchen, that seems a bit rude. “Thanks for the advice.”

“It’s better than the shit you fed me when I was dating Lee.”

I was so stupid then. I had this idea of what was right and wrong, and I was a shitty friend. He wasn’t doing anything inappropriate, but there’s a code we live by, and fucking another SEAL’s wife—even if he was dead—was not okay. However, all anyone needed to do was spend a minute with them together to see they were right for each other.

Natalie made Liam a better man. Liam gave Natalie strength when she needed it.

Still, I didn’t support my best friend, and for that, I’m still sorry. “I was a dick.”

“You still are,” he says with a laugh.

“Yeah, but I was wrong, and I’m sorry.”

Liam sighs. “We’ve already had this out, dude. We’re fine. You came running here when the unit returned from deployment, and I don’t understand why. Other than you’re lost and needed my expert advice because you probably fucked up your plan to wear her down.”

And I guess I’m still stupid too.

I thought that Ashton would’ve seen the truth and come around. Sure, she kisses me like she can’t help herself and we had some pretty fantastic sex, but then she always walks away. Her touching me is more of a reflex than a want, and I’d like it the other way around.

“None of it is working in a meaningful way.”

“Well, let’s recap your brilliance, shall we?” The sarcasm in his voice is not at all reassuring that he believes I’m at all brilliant. “First, you arrive at her parents’ house without talking to her first and use your injury to get sympathy. Then, you rent a room in the same apartment building she lives in with the purpose of proving you’re not going anywhere. Really smart.” His tone is pissing me off. “But that’s nothing compared to you following her around even when she’s pretty much said in a hundred ways she doesn’t want you there. Let me know if I missed any key points. Oh, wait, I forgot, you screwed her too—and not in a way that proves you love her.”

Natalie walks into the room, rolling her eyes. “Don’t give up, Quinn. Women love to be pursued!”

“See, your wife thinks it’s a good idea.”

“She didn’t say that. She just said not to give up. We all know this is going down in a blaze of glory, which I’m assuming you know as well. I’m not sure how you think this plan of yours will work.”

“That’s not what I said.” Her hand rests on Liam’s shoulder. “I think it’s admirable that you’re going there. When I was dealing with my life falling apart, Liam was here.
