As soon as I leave her, I already miss her. It’s a strange feeling, to miss a woman, yet here I am missing her anyway.

I head toward the large parking lot on Patrick’s estate, a short distance from her house. But when I approach my car, I register footsteps behind me. Hope erupts in the marrow of my bones, wanting it to be her.

My pulse quickens.

But when I turn around, I find Tynan there instead.

Under the streetlamp, his stare is hard and unrelenting.

“What are you doing here?” I ask, my tone matching his hardened expression.

“I should be asking you that.” His eyes burn with ill-consumed indignation. “What the hell were you still doing at my sister’s?”

I really don’t like how the son of a bitch is looking at me, and I’m seriously close to shoving my nine into his face.

“I was at the party,” I reply cooly, pivoting to open my car door to get the fuck out of here.

“Party’s been over for hours, and everyone thought you left.”

“Seems like I didn’t.” I grate my jaw, keeping my back to him.

“What the hell are you doing with Iseult? Is this a fucking game to you? I saw you at the party. Everyone did.”

I turn around sharply and walk into his space. “Does it look like I’m playing games? Do you think Michael asked when he arranged a marriage between Eriu and me?” My face tightens with a glare. “It’s not my or Iseult’s fault we met first. She’s the only fucking Quinn I actually like.”

“Does my father know that?” His voice grows with irritation, and I no longer care who knows I have feelings for her.

“No. If it were up to me, he would, but she doesn’t want to tell him. And I have to somehow convince her to.”

“If you care about her, you’ll let whatever this is go and forget her. Because if my father finds out, you’re as good as dead.”

“I can’t do that.” A cold smile slips over my face. “She’s impossible to forget.”

“Even if my father allowed it…” he goes on. “She doesn’t want to get married. So you’d be wasting everyone’s time.”

I inhale a strained breath. I don’t need him telling me what Iseult wants.

“Before I met her, I didn’t want to get married either. Things change.”

“She doesn’t.” He eyes me with an edge. “She does better alone.”

“No one wants to be alone, even when they tell you they do.”

His jaw tics. “I’ve known my sister far longer than you have, and her stance on marriage will not change.” He runs a hand down his face like he’s recalling something. “She’s a little bit broken.”

With the remote I retrieve from my pocket, I click the door to my car open.

“Well, it’s a good thing I find broken things beautiful.”

Then I get in, turn the Bugatti to drive, and get the hell out of there, hoping Tynan doesn’t fuck things up and tell his father what’s been going on.
