Myles POV

When Briar gets home I rush downstairs and start trying to talk things over with her. I doubt I'll have any luck.

"Briar." I start. "We need to talk."

"Ugh." She rolls her eyes. "Fine."

She walks into the living room with me trailing behind her and sitting on the sofa. I take a deep breath.

"I need you to understand where I was coming from when I said we couldn't be together at the moment." I explain.

"I understand where you're coming from, you were trying to protect Dylan's feelings." She says with a shake of her head. "It's just that ... "

"It's just what?" I asks her.

"Never mind." She mutters.

"No, tell me what you were gonna say." I demand.

"I just think that you wouldn't do the same thing for me." She shrugs, trying to make nothing of it. "You know, protect my feelings."?

"Bri, what are you talking about?" I ask, shocked. "Of course I would protect you, in any way that I can."

She looks up at me, straight into my eyes and says, "Really?"

"Yes because ... " I start. "Because I love you, B."

"You love me?" She asks shyly, and I nod in reply. "I love you too." She says.

And then she leans in and kisses me.
