“Yeah, it’s just… I thought he was different, you know? Like, he was a proper man and made me feel like a proper woman and I loved him. He made me feel safe and I’m not sure if I want to let that go.” Hayden was embarrassed that she was saying this stuff out loud let alone to her step mother, whom she hated. But Lily wasn't a replacement for their mother, and she knew this, she was just there to love and support the children and their father.
“You know the problem with men like that?” Lily’s face looked genuine, “They turn out to be bastards. And when you realize that you're better off without them it’s too late and too hard to push them away, because you remember how safe you felt and how good it was. But when you know, when you truly know, you have to cut them loose, before they drag you down... Because believe me, my love, they will drag you down.”
Hayden and Matt quickly fall in lust, and spend their days surfing together and sleeping, while their nights are spent apart, pretending that they don't know each other. Because in the Mafia underworld, the boss' daughter is off limits.
