Chapter 67 – Engaged
"You're the guy who stole my fiancé," Ed muttered. "You're the one owing me explanations."
The mechanic jolted, doing a double-take. "What?!"
His brows shot upwards. Oh no.
"You two were… engaged?!"
Damnit.
Bran turned, staring wide-eyed. "But you weren't ever... together."
Ed met his gaze, truly seeing his age for the first time. He was only his junior by a few years, but important milestones yet to be hurdled separated them in vast ways.
He spoke with a sigh. "I knew the day my mother died," he patted his left leg, concealed from habit in pants despite the heat.
