Ryland's P.O.V. ***************************************** I pushed Nasha out of my arms gently. I kissed her forehead, and wiped her eyes. She sniffled, but most of her tears are gone now. "Go lay down," I ordered her. "I have to talk to Jax for a minute, and then I'll bring you some water." Nasha sniffled as she nodded. She walked back into Val's room, and gently shut the door. I stood there staring at it for a moment. When the hell did I get so soft? I shook my head as I walked to Jax's room. His door was still slightly open, so I pushed it the rest of the way. I walked in to see Jax sitting at his desk. His eyes followed me as I plopped down on a chair that he had sitting in the corner of the room. Then I blew out a long breath. "So, you heard," I stated. "Yeah," he said gently.
