Make It Hard For Me

Alaia's POV

The drive into town and to the hospital was quiet and peaceful. Thankfully, Marco was able to read the situation that i didn't want to make any conversation.

I am trying to make sense of what Rhea said about Nick in my head.. ..What has Nick done that i should be scared off? There was something in her eyes that made me feel like she wasn't bullshiting me.

I should probably talk to Nick about this and i will, but his proximity distracts me and i need some clarity to sort out my own feelings first. Plus after everything that came out last night, i really feel like am not the right fit for him. If only my heart will agree.

After the hospital visit, am not ready to go back to the ranch yet, so Marco and i walk around the town for a while as we make easy conversation and he shares some of his childhood memories here.
