DOM
Yeah, but you know better.
I did. I fucking hated that I did.
I took three deep breaths before responding. It did fuck all to calm me.
RYAN
We’re waiting because it’s romantic. We did something similar once, remember?
I hit send and then froze in horror. What the fuck was I doing bringing that up?
Dom’s response came almost instantly.
DOM
Liar.
I seem to remember the main reason we waited was because we had a similar issue regarding walls.
If it’d been down to me, I would’ve fucked you every chance we had. That I only had you once in that way is one of my biggest regrets.
My mouth dried out. I shouldn’t ask. I knew I shouldn’t.
RYAN
One of? What was the biggest?
DOM
I’m not sure yet.
RYAN
What’s that supposed to mean? That you’re already planning on fucking up again?
DOM
No.
Not at all.
Before coming back to England, I would’ve said it was telling Max about us and lying about my plans.
But now I’m not so sure.
My teeth sank back into my lip.
RYAN
I don’t understand.
DOM
Well, you told me that wasn’t what hurt you the most. So, whatever that is, that’s my biggest regret.
RYAN
