Chapter 294

“We all love Mason,” Cassie said, “and the guys have a special bond between them that can’t be broken, not even by a woman. But we have all also come to love you. We like you and Mason together, we think you’re good for him. He’s changed so much since you guys have been together and I’m sure they’re reminding him of that.” “And telling him he’s an idiot for letting you go,” Becky added. “But I’m the one who stuffed up. I’m the one who broke the rules. He can’t still love me after what I did. He can’t love me if he doesn’t trust me.” “But you didn’t actually betray his trust, Lisa,” Becky said. “He thinks I did and that’s all that matters.” “And one mistake makes you a pariah?” Lisa didn’t answer, but in her mind, she screamed ‘Yes!’ That’s all it took, one mistake, and love was withdrawn. How could Mason love her when her own flesh and blood didn’t? Her aunt used to love like a carrot on a stick and it always seemed just out of reach. Lisa had never been quite good enough to reach it.
