And I guessed I had to admit this was Ryder offering his own personal strength. His own type of dedication. Swooping in. Forever the protector. The one who’d step in front of a car spinning out of control to push their loved one out of the way. The one who’d fight if it came down to it. Oh, and Ryder would definitely fight. He might come off as easygoing, but I’d seen him come unhinged a time or two.
