Wild and Wrangled (Rebel Blue Ranch, #4)

“Cam.” His face was thoughtful, his voice earnest. “I love you. You’re like another sister to me. When everything happened on your wedding day, I was sad for you, but I also kind of felt…relieved. Like I didn’t have to pretend that I was okay with you settling for less than you deserved anymore.” I swallowed hard. “But the thought of you and Dusty finally finding your way back to each other after all this time and letting this get in the way of that breaks my heart in two. “I think you need to talk to Dusty about the house thing—tell him that secrets like that won’t fly in the future. Talk about what it means for your relationship right now and in the future, but I don’t think you need to use this as an excuse to leave him first.” My head snapped toward him. “What did you say?” “It’s easier to be the one that leaves than be the one that gets left. I think you and Ada think similarly that way, but both of you have the same problem: You wait for the other shoe to drop, even though that’s never going to happen. Dusty’s putting down roots. You have roots already, and now both of you finally have a chance to let those roots grow together, to get so fucking tangled up in each other that you can’t possibly part again, and that’s a beautiful thing.”
