Aidan snapped his head up so quickly he about broke his neck. “You’re offering to have a conversation with someone? The man of as few words as possible.”
“Doesn’t mean I don’t get my point across.”
True. “I appreciate the sentiment, but don’t bother. It wouldn’t work, anyway. I’ve already spoken with Mom and she’s set on this. And we both know once she’s made up her mind, there’s no changing it.”
It was a stubbornness they all shared. Which didn’t make it less annoying, just easier to recognize.
“Besides,” Aidan continued, “it’s not like I have to go along with Mom’s little scheme.” He didn’t have to fall for Yvonne. Not again. “Yvonne and I ended it a long time ago. Believe me, neither one of is us interested in revisiting our relationship.”
Brady tapped his fingers against his thigh. Opened his mouth, then shut it again.
Aidan raised his eyebrows. “You going to spit out whatever it is you’re chewing on? Or would you rather I guess?”
His brother shifted. “Be careful.”
“Of Yvonne?”
“Of your feelings for her.”
“I don’t have any feelings for her.” Aidan stood, his chair slamming into the bookcases behind him with a sharp crack.
There was one second of blessed silence as Brady smiled. “Yeah. I can see that.”
Tucking his fisted hands behind his back, Aidan drew in a deep breath. “We were married,” he pointed out in what he thought was a rational, dispassionate tone—one that hid the turmoil bubbling inside him, “but that doesn’t mean I’m holding on to some sort of…infatuation…after all these years.”
“Keep it that way. Don’t hold on to something that died long ago.”
“This isn’t like you and Liz.”
Liz Montgomery had been Brady’s fiancée—until a year ago, when she’d written him a Dear John letter while he’d been serving with the marines in Afghanistan. Shortly after, he’d been injured during a routine patrol and his life had spiraled violently out of control, resulting in a drunken Brady crashing Liz’s wedding this past summer. He’d ended up in bed with Liz’s younger sister, Jane Cleo—a one-night stand that ended in pregnancy. Brady and J.C. were married a few weeks ago.
