Quinn nodded. “Yeah, that guy. He’s so ungrateful. I was offering him a shot at an easy life, but he turned it down.

Jared finally realized his sister had a thing for Ryan. His expression turned cold as he glanced at me, then said sternly to Quinn, “You don’t have a shot with him. Stop fantasizing.”
