Eileen believed Benjamin had a solid point—getting involved with Bryan would do her no good.

“None whatsoever?” Bryan said, his voice charged with coiled rage that was waiting to be sprung free.

Eileen instinctively shot to her feet and fled to her room. “That’s right, so you should leave my place now!”

She was already inside her room by the time she finished speaking, but she wasn’t fast enough to close the door. In the blink of an eye, Bryan was there, grabbing the edge of the door, the muscles in his forearms bulging as he pushed it wide open.
