   Summary

   “But I hate that sometimes when I look at you I still think about how if you hadn’t done that then my brother would still be here.” A single tear made its way down her cheek but Dain knew better than to try and wipe it away for her. He just held her gaze because she deserved every facet of his attention. “And I hate that I still seem to love you despite it.”

   or

   a look into how despite everything, sloane and dain somehow found their way to each other in the quiet behind all the chaos.
