Chapter 22

“Look, I didn’t come here to start a fight with you,” Jesse said.

“What? Did you think I’d just let her go without a fight? Did you think about the consequences of this little visit at all?” Ethan demanded, not unfairly.

Jesse hadn’t done anything exceptthink about the consequences. He had known there was a good possibility they were sleeping together. But he honestly never suspected there was more to their relationship than that. Wouldn’t Emma have mentioned something, anything, if she were falling in love with Ethan?

Maybe she would have if she thought Jess would approve. Had he ever done anything to indicate he’d approve of Ethan? He never offered her a single word of encouragement when it came to her relationship with the other empath.

“You don’t need to fight with me, Ethan. I didn’t know you were…a couple.”

“How could you not know?”

“I never asked.”
