You know what I see when I look at you two?” I rub my lips together, nerves taking over. “What?” “I see a rare, special kind of connection that’s visible to anyone who witnesses it. I see the kind of love I could only be so lucky to find one day. What you have with Reid is different from what you had with Chase, and you owe it to him and yourself to stop holding what Chase did to you over this new relationship.”
