Ryan's POV
Ryan was on Vivian's couch and they were holding each other.
There was nothing sexual about the contact, but he felt as though if he were to die in that moment, he would be a very happy man.
He had his Vivian in his arms, and that was all that mattered to him.
"I have been seeing Bryce again," The soft words shattered something in Ryan's chest. For a few seconds he could not even breathe, his entire body frozen.
What she was telling him was not news to him at all. He already knew of this thanks to Amy. But hearing Vivian admit to it, made his heart hurt. The fact that she had been vulnerable enough to allow that parasite back into her life did not make him feel good in the least.
Having felt Ryan's body go stiff as he'd registered her words, Vivian immediately released him and began speaking as she rushed to reassure him.
