wait. He takes both of our shoes, heading back into the hotel. He returns with just the bag he had at the front door of the suite. I take the hand he offers me and we start our walk.
    “So Nick Lincoln, huh,” Ry turns to me with a lifted brow and a smirk.
    I look up at him with knitted brows. “How do you know,” I ask. Nick and I may not have been a secret, but I worked so much during our relationship we didn’t do much public dating. It stings to think that he wanted it that way.
    “He’s looking for you. A bid just came in for us to find you. Johnathan and Felix intercepted it before Wyatt could see it or my dad could accept the job and assign one of us to it. You’re a friend. Kimmie doesn’t call in favors unless she needs them. We figured we’d give you a chance to at least explain what’s going on and then decide what to do. Our friendship comes first though,” Ry winks at me.
    “Thank you guys so much,” my brows knit deeper.
    I know the Blacks are private investigators and bounty hunters. I wasn’t expecting Nick to send out the Calvary for me. I’m so confused as Kimmie’s words rattle in my head.
    “You want to talk about it. I’m a good listener,” Ryan says as he nudges me with his shoulder.
    “Is it okay if we don’t,” I wince and bite my lip.
    Ryan nods and throws an arm over my shoulder. “Whatever you like, but can I ask why the change? Is it because of Lincoln,” Ryan prods.
    “What do you mean,” I ask playing dumb.
    “I remember you being a sexy little nerd the first time we met. Now you’re still sexy, but…,” his golden eyes roam over me and he bites his lip. “Yeah, Nick is lucky he and Wyatt have history. I’d so take his girl.”
    My mouth falls open. “Are you serious,” I say shaking my head.
    Ryan reaches for a coil of my hair that has slipped free from my messy bun and has started to curl in the blowing breeze. I am going to really need to handle this mess in the morning.
    “Why wouldn’t I be? You’re smart, gorgeous and you don’t even know it. I asked Kimmie to give me your number a long time ago, but she said you weren’t into dating. You were focused on school,” Ryan shrugs.
    I am stunned by this knowledge. I look up into his golden eyes searching for the truth. He looks sincere in his words. I turn away and walk a few steps before plopping down in the sand.
    “Being the youngest, do you even feel like you just made it into the family? Like your parents could have cared less if they had you or not? And sometimes like they wished they didn’t,” I whisper.
    Ryan takes a seat next to me and pulls out a bottle of champagne and two glasses. He hands me the glasses and fills them. He takes a glass and taps mine.
    “To the baby in the family. The one that never feels like they fit in, no matter what,” Ryan chuckles.
    We both drain our glasses and I reach for the bottle to chug from it. It has been a long day. Ryan chuckles and nudges me.
    “To answer your question. Hell yeah, it was hard growing up as the youngest, but I don’t think it is possible to live under Cassidy Black’s roof and not feel loved. Sometimes I feel like I get smothered because I’m the baby,” Ryan laughs.
    “That must feel good,” I say with a weak smile.
    “Talk to me, Sophi. Where is this coming from,” Ryan says with knitted brows.
    I sigh and shake my head taking another sip. “I have always been the ugly one, the one that needed to lose weight, or dress better, or sit more gracefully like my sister. My brother and sister are perfect in my mother’s eyes. They’re lighter, thinner, they have dad’s grey eyes and not the weird mix I have. It’s like I sat in my mother’s womb picking out all the genes that would piss her off for the rest of my life.
    “I’ve always felt…I don’t know. And then I met Nick. I started a relationship with him and I started to find my confidence. I have a great job at FLI and I am great at it. Then all in one moment it all
