“Jada, Mom, me. Actually anyone who’s around the two of you for any amount of time can’t miss it.” Colin planted his hands on his hips. “And in case you don’t know this, brother, she returns the feelings. So I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Make your moves.”
Dev told him about the promise to Jada.
“Sounds to me like you need to have a heart-to-heart with Jada.”
Dev resisted snapping at his brother when his frustration was directed at his sister. “I talked to her today. She hasn’t changed her mind.”
“Then change her mind for her. Loving someone the way you care for Kinsley doesn’t come around very often, and you’d be a fool to miss out on it. Trust me. I almost did until I realized Brooklyn and I were meant to be together.”
Dev knew his brother was right, and if it were just the promise to Jada, maybe he could overcome this and approach Kinsley. But what about Hailey leaving him at the altar? He’d jumped the gun with her. Sure, he’d known Kinsley for forever, but was the timing right, or was it just convenient right now? Could he ever trust his judgment in women again?
He didn’t know.
He could be holding on to some schoolboy crush, or he could still have feelings for her. But were they strong enough to overcome his lack of confidence in a future with any woman?
He didn’t know. God did, but He wasn’t sharing the answer. Dev not only didn’t trust his instincts when it came to his relationships, he had to admit his trust in God had fallen ever since Hailey walked out on him. What was it going to take for him to regain that trust?
Only time, and maybe an answer to his prayers, would tell.
