Tamara POV

I had never seen Brad to be so protective about anyone else except his own family. Surprise flickered through me. The way he held her, like she would break if he let her go, like she was a treasure, made me wonder if he was in love with her. But if that was the case, why didn't he ever mention about her?

I suggested again. But as I touched her forehead, I closed my eyes, and thought of happy memories. Like the ones I made with Matt yesterday. A sigh left my lips, much to my embarrassment and I hoped that Matt didn't notice it. However, I heard a gasp behind me, and I wondered if through our bond he sensed what I
