not daring to challenge Connor’s decision, Derek came to terms with the situation. Swallowing his words, he followed Cade out, feeling wronged. As he walked past Foley Daniels, his brother, he attempted to speak. But Foley only gave him a blank stare, as if looking at a fool. It dawned on Derek that Foley wasn’t the good brother
