Lucas looked at her, pulled the car over, unbuckled his seatbelt, and reached across to pull her into his
arms.
Lynn’s guilt and fear came rushing out all at once, impossible to hold back.
She was terrified for Ruben. And she blamed herself for tearing the Moore family apart.
Lucas was stuck in the middle–what must he be thinking?
Petra already had it out for her now. If things went south with Lucas, she’d be cut off from the entire family.
Lucas held her tighter. “Don’t blame yourself. They needed to know.”
While there was still time to fix things, better they found out now.
Over at Charles‘ place, they’d already moved out of the family home that night, Sandy with them.
“I broke your family apart… Lynn’s voice cracked.
The guilt was eating her alive.
Right now, she felt like a disaster–wandering, homeless, toxic.
“Lynn, you didn’t do anything wrong. Stop blaming yourself. One day, the Moores will thank you for this.” Lucas cupped her face in his hands.
He frowned, his chest aching at the sight of her swollen red eyes.
“No more crying. It kills me to see you like this. We still have to see your parents. If you walk in there looking like this, how are they supposed to feel okay?”
Lynn tried hard to stop the tears.
That only made it worse for Lukas. “If you keep crying I’m going to have to kiss you.”
The threat worked–her thoughts snapped back into focus.
Lucas couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.
He grabbed a wet wipe from the glove compartment. Here. Clean yourself up.”
Lynn took it quietly and dried her face.
Lucas drove her to the hospital.
Betty had been admitted. After getting back from the wedding, everything had finally caught up with her.

Lucas had people keeping an eye on them–he’d been worried they might do something drastic because of Ruben. The minute Betty went down, his team got her to the hospital and let Lucas know
They stood outside the hospital room.
Lynn wanted to go in, but Lucas stopped her.
He glanced through the window at Gordon, asleep in the chair next to Betty’s bed, then pulled Lynn aside.
They’re exhausted. If you go in now, it’ll only make it worse. And look at you.” Lucas touched her cheek gently. “They see you like this, they’ll just start worrying about you instead.”
They’d kept Ruben’s situation from Lynn this whole time because they wanted her to focus on the wedding. No extra stress.
With the Murphy family in trouble, Lucas was her best shot at stability. They didn’t want anything messing
the marriage between their families.
up
Lucky for them, Lucas actually cared about her now. Otherwise, the Murphys would’ve been done for
Lynn’s tears started falling again, despite herself. Lucas was right.
Everyone wanted her to be happy. Gordon had probably just managed to fall asleep. Walking in now would mean a long, sleepless night for all of them.
“I’m tired too, Lucas said, taking her hand.
That snapped her back. They’d both been going all day and tonight was supposed to be their wedding night.
Lucas had clearly been looking forward to this for a long time.
Lucas brought the exhausted Lynn back to their new place.
Watching him walk ahead of her, she felt her opinion of him shift.
Turned out, being with this guy wasn’t so bad after all.
When they got upstairs, Lynn planned to quickly clean up the mess she’d left behind before Lucas came
But when she stepped into the walk–in closet, everything was back in place. Exactly as it had been before. Except for the wedding ring she’d taken off, every single thing was arranged neatly where it belonged.
She searched frantically–drawers, boxes, nothing.
Panic set in. This was her ring from Lucas.
Lynn crouched down, scanning the carpet.
“Looking for something?” Lucas appeared in the doorway.
