I grab Ria’s phone, my stomach knotting as I stared at the photo.

I would’ve probably said this was an old photo if I didn’t recognize the same suit he wore today.

But I also recognize that same doctor with pretty hair.

My mouth pressed together as I realized how cozy the two looked. With one of Aiden’s arms secured in her hold and pushed between her boobs, her lips wide with a radiant happy smile as she poses.
