Part of me wanted to grill Royce and ask why he was so supportive of bringing Nate into our dynamic, but I already knew the answer. It was the same reason that Nate thought he couldn’t be a part of our relationship. Love. Royce loved both of us and didn’t question for even a second that this was how it was always meant to be. Nate loved his friend so hard that he didn’t want to fuck up what was clearly the real deal for us.
