This was my favorite part of my home. I would always come back here and stare at the view—especially in times like this when I had a lot on my mind.

I believe that a woman like Autumn will help you move on from Anya. Eventually, she would have had to choose one of you. It couldn’t be the three of you for the rest of her life. We are saving you the heartache of the future.”

“You say it like you know she wouldn’t have chosen me to spend the rest of her life with,” I note.

He shrugs his shoulder, “she would have chosen one of you. I’m not optimistic you wouldn’t be her first choice. I’m just telling you that marrying Autumn will make it easier for your brothers and you.”
