Ryan’s brows knitted tight, and for the first time ever, that young, handsome face of his was weighed down by a seriousness I’d never seen before.

For a split second, it was like I was staring at someone else–someone older, someone in charge. My heart skipped a beat.

Cold sweat trickled down my back as reason finally kicked in.

If I wanted to break free from Edward, the first thing I had to do was put some real distance between me and Ryan.

But Ryan had already helped me so much. There was no way I could just sever things cleanly between us anymore.

The only thing I could do now was bring someone else into the picture, hoping it’d finally make him realize it was hopeless and back off.

I couldn’t help but wonder if the red string of fate had already tangled us up so tightly somewhere along the way, tying us into an unbreakable knot–maybe Ryan and I would never be able to break free from each other.

Seeing how determined I was, Ryan’s face grew even more stormy.
