“Listen. All I want for Nadia is the best. Love. Happiness. For every single one of her dreams to come true. We have a unique relationship, and I know I’ve made mistakes where she’s concerned, but I don’t want to make any now. If she loves you, and you love her? If you make her happy, and you can make all her dreams come true, well, I already love you like a brother, Griffin. It wouldn’t be hard to adjust to having you around. I want nothing but the best for both of you.”
