Knowing he should take his own advice from that day long ago, Riley jabbed the shovel into the snow, but it did nothing to ease the anger still building up inside. Most of it was directed at himself. Because he should have known better than to trust Lucy to Colin. The evidence had been there right from the start. The man was an idiot. And there wasn’t anything more Riley could do to protect her from Colin now than he had then.

Pickles, having lost interest once the doe had bounded into the woods, sat patiently watching. His dark eyes turned joyful as Riley reached over the porch gate to pet him again.

“If only things were as simple as this, Pickles. You have no idea how hard it is to be a person.”

But as sure as he’d been clearing away the demolished snowman, he would do everything he could to clear the way for Lucy to have the future she deserved. After his talk with Lucy, he knew he should have spoken up back then, despite her saying she wouldn’t have listened. He saw now he had a right to speak up as her best friend, and someone who knew her well. He wouldn’t let her fall into a position with a man who would leave her pelting the cabin with snowballs again. No one would get past him this time—especially not a guy like Colin who was all show and no substance.

Lucy deserved better.
