“So, when you came back and talked to your dad, you made sure he wouldn’t get in the way of whoever you wanted to be with?” I asked, my chest tightening. Edward was always like this–he’d set everything up, just waiting for you to walk right into his trap. Once you were caught in his net, good luck ever getting out.

“Victoria, I don’t want to live with regrets,” Edward said, gently brushing his fingers against my cheek. “All the things I missed out on before don’t matter. What matters is being able to choose who I spend the rest of my life with.”

“He’ll calm down,” Edward said harshly. “If he still wants to be a Jennings.”

I let it go. Ryan was smart–he knew how to weigh his options.
