but a few were pictures Sierra had
taken of him.
    “Those are the kind of pictures a woman takes when she’s in
love,” Lacey said, taking one of them and studying it. Then she slid him a
look. “Trust me, I know.”
    His throat knotted. “I’ve been pissed off, shut down for a
long time.”
    “You’ve been pissed off, shut down because you were
confused…and because her dad was fucked up,” Lacey pointed out. She gathered up
the pictures. “You should keep these. Maybe not on the mantel, but somewhere.
She meant something to you. I think she probably had something else going on
for her to choose to end her life like she did.”
    “She had issues with depression when she was younger,”
Brogan said gruffly. “I always thought I…well, what we did…”
    Lacey took his hand. “It wasn’t you. She was happy with you.
You can see it in her eyes. I think she was torn up over her lies, over how her
father used to manipulate her, and then the bastard she used to be with
couldn’t take being pushed aside. If anybody is to blame, it’s her father and
that bastard ex. They used her, Brogan. They didn’t care about what they were
doing to her, they just wanted to use her. If anybody is to blame, it’s them.”
She moved then, coming to straddle him, bringing the wine with her. “Let her
go, baby. You loved her…she loved you, but that’s over and gone. It never
should have ended like it did, but it’s done. Don’t lose any more of your life
over it.”
    “I won’t.” He took the wine and curved his other arm around
her. “I wasted too much of the time I want to spend with you anyway.”
    She dipped her head. “Good line of thinking. There’s no time
to waste, right? We waste time that’s meant for games, right?”
    He was chuckling as she covered his mouth with hers. “Good
way to look at it.”
    “I do love my games.”
