Ian's POV
I'm an idiot. I really, really am. When I showed up at her door and saw her glossy eyes, I knew she'd been crying last night. It's all my fault. How could I be so stupid? Why can't I just let Red go?
All I can think about right now is Hailey and how I might lose her. It's tearing me up inside, knowing I hurt her. She didn't deserve that. I should have never let myself get so carried away with her. She deserves someone better than me. Yet, I don't want to let her go. I really don't know what to do, and it's driving me insane.
Marco: Dinner tonight? It might be your last chance to eat my wife's cooking.
His message gave me a short reprieve from my looping thoughts. Perhaps being around him and his family will help set my head back on track. Maybe I could tell Marco about my problems, and he could give me some advice. He'd understand the feelings I have for Red. He married his high school sweetheart, surely he'd understand where I'm coming from.
