I couldn’t hold them back any longer; tears broke out, streaming down my face along with a hiccup as a sob worked free. I had never hated Ryan for anything in our past, even when he’d responded the way he had to the news I’d delivered to him. Even when he’d broken my heart into a billion pieces with that firm set of his jaw and that angry look in his eye…I had never, ever hated the man. But now…now I was starting to hate the fucker.
