Because I Can't Have You

“What did your mother tell you when your favorite pair of pajama pants got too small for you?” Spencer asked in a soothing tone, watching Brendon prowl back and forth over the littered floor of his office.

“I had to give them away,” Brendon muttered, eyes darting from the dusty bookcases, to the cobwebs on the chandelier, back to the dust.

“And what was the reason she gave you?”

“I outgrew them.”

Spencer nodded encouragingly. “And what else did she tell you?” he prompted.

“She would buy me a bigger pair that fit me,” Brendon answered with a confused frown. “So what?”

“Now replace your pajama pants with Ryan."
