Amanda curled up again in Douglas’s arms. She wanted to push the world away and began to cry once more. He raised her chin, kissed her softly on the lips. “Honey, you, and I both know there is Bryan to consider. You two have five years together and there is something between you, or you would not of been together this long. You need to talk to him, seriously now, you owe him that much.”
