“Stop,” Cameron said.

Yeah. He wasn’t going to stand there and talk about Josie with him. How she was better off away from him and this place when all he ever wanted was this place and her. He turned and started walking back to his car.

I love her. I’ve always loved her. I will always love her. She deserves the world and everything in it and if anyone ever dares to hurt her I will personally come and destroy their lives.
But one look at Max’s face and Cameron understood she already had a person for that. And Cameron was on the other side of it. The other side of everything. He’d let down the family and now he was on the outside in every way.
“Tell her this is for the best.”
