He tries to ignore it. He tries to ignore her fiery read hair. He tries to ignore her intoxicating smell. He tries to ignore the feelings, that are anything but brotherly, that he has for her. He tries to ignore his girlfriends dad as he glares at him. He tries to ignore the love that can not be ignored.

But some things are impossible to ignore.

Now he tries to ignore his best friends hateful looks to her. He tries to ignore his Godfather's content smile. He tries to ignore the burning desire to hold her. HE tries to ignore the seventeen year old boys looking at her. He tries to ignore the tears rolling down Victorie's cheek. He tries to ignore his one-time uncles fist being curled.

And he does…when she's there with him.
