He gave her enough room to open the door, and he watched her walk ahead of him. Shaun followed her, and stood beside Dean as they watched the filming start up again.
“Hey, man, you okay?” Dean asked.
“Me? I’m fine.” He didn’t take his gaze away from Addie.
“Can I ask for some advice?”
“About Darla?”
“Who else?” Dean ran fingers through his hair looking completely out of it.
“Go ahead. I don’t know if I’ll be able to help.” He wasn’t the one to talk to about advice on capturing a woman. Shaun had only just caught his own woman.
“How did you know Addie was the one?”
“I looked at her, and I knew.”
“There was no doubt?”
“None. The doubt came after I was married, and we seemed to be strangers to each other. We lost something in all the crap of our families and being married.”
“Darla’s a beautiful woman on the inside as much as she is on the outside. When I’m with her, she makes everything fall away, and I’m just caught in her web.”
“She’s not a spider.”
“I know. There’s no one else I want.”
“It sounds to me like you’re in love.”
“She won’t give me a chance. She doesn’t seem to think it would ever work.”
“Then show her another man. Show her the man she doesn’t think you can be. It’s always good to prove a woman wrong without actually saying anything. Show her.” It was what he intended to do with Addie all the way.
