“Look, Charlie. I don’t want to lie to you. Getting married isn’t in the cards for me. My marriage ended in disaster. Hell, I’m staying at your house because I still don’t have a place to live.” “I know.” “Do you?” Brooks grasps my chin and turns my gaze to meet his. There’s a sadness in his eyes. “Yeah.” Maybe. Maybe I’ve been lying to myself this whole time. Maybe Hunter was right. Not that I’ll ever admit that to him, but God, this feeling sucks right now.
