My last night as the man who could do whatever the fuck he wanted.

Tonight Kacey was going to remind me exactly why I was the one who always won in the end.

‘How can you be sure he’s the one in such a short time? Niamh’s chin came up and her eyes took on the same defiant gleam as Ethan’s. ‘We knew the minute we met each other at the gym. I thought you’d be happy for me. I haven’t had a boyfriend before and Ethan is so kind and good and—’
