And I had to work through the fact that someone I loved hadn’t bothered to come to me and had believed a bunch of lies her dickhead brother had told her about me.
I don’t fucking know. We’re getting our friendship back on track. I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that she wouldn’t have just come to me and asked if it was true. We lost two years over a bunch of fucking lies.
Bridger
Listen, you know I’ve always got your back. But I want you to think about something.
Easton
Tell us, all-knowing one.
Bridger
Fuck off. Anyway, if one of us came to you and told you something someone had said or done, would you not believe us?
Yeah, but this is me and Wren. She should have come to me. She should have known that I would never have done those things.
Archer
You and Wren had been best friends your entire lives, and the night before, you’d gotten together for the first time. Collin preyed on her insecurities.
Clark
And he’s her fucking brother. Of course she would think he had her back. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Why, though? She’s his sister. He devastated her.
Bridger
I think he’s a jealous dude. I think he wants to be the standout in every room he enters. And he has a sister who is an equestrian badass. He had a fiancée who was a doctor. He can’t handle women who are smarter than him. More talented than him.
Clark
Holy fuck. Did that just come from Bridger?
Easton
I believe it did. How is that possible.
Bridger
Therapy, bitches.
I think you may be on to something. He’s an insecure dickhead. He knew exactly what to say.
Archer
He probably knew about his father’s affair all along but never told her. And he knew how close you two were. Plus he wanted to make someone else the bad guy, since he’d just been called out for what he’d done to Emerson.
Rafe
Classic narcissist.
Easton
Ahhhh… we’re using the big words this morning.
Clark
