Loose 455


Chapter 455

Every time the topic of love came up, Ryan would just fix his gaze on me, unwavering.

That look made me feel like a real heartbreaker.

But since I couldn’t give him the pure love he deserved, if I was going to be a heartbreaker, I should at least be upfront about it, so he wouldn’t feel played.

Ryan looked genuinely shocked, staring at me like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Being together isn’t about heading straight for marriage–it’s about chasing happiness. So marriage isn’t the real goal; happiness is.”

Ryan just gave me a look and took a bite of his food. “Don’t talk to me like you’re some wise old elder. Seriously, look at yourself you’re not even that old.”
