She cheated. Not once but twice then had the audacity to act like Nick was the bad guy. Nick moves into one side of a duplex that shares a backyard with the neighbor.<br \/>\nEnter neighbor&#8230;<br \/>\nBryce moves in next door. The pair meet and become friends instantly. They spend all of their spare time together. And like it or not, Bryce becomes Nick&#8217;s wingman. These 2 men were blind af to what was blossoming before their eyes. To give them credit, neither have ever been attracted to another man so they were completely clueless about the looks one gave the other. The kind gestures that may have meant more. The inner turmoil the other was going through on the daily. Constantly I&#8217;m yelling outloud to the empty room- OMG WHY DO MEN HAVE TO BE SO FREAKING CLUELESS?! I mean yeah, they could have talked about their feelings but what is the fun in that? The route paved with the most angst sometimes makes for the best reads.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"author-header-B00HCMIRQ8\" class=\"a-row stores-row stores-widget-atf\">\n<div class=\"a-column a-span12 stores-column\" data-csa-c-painter=\"AmazonStoresHeader\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"brand-stores-Header-Desktop\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-widgetid=\"author-header-B00HCMIRQ8\" data-widgettype=\"Header\" data-csa-c-id=\"sil8e-9e1cwz-bh6odp-epbl2y\">\n<div id=\"Header-author-header-B00HCMIRQ8\">\n<div data-testid=\"observer\">\n<div class=\"Header__header__g41Bi Header__left__WRNV4 Header__hasLogo___fSeE Header__sticky__gfDVB\">\n<div id=\"nav-area\" class=\"Header__navArea__wjUus\">\n<div class=\"Header__navAreaHorizontalLayout__dO20q\" data-testid=\"header-nav-area\">\n<div class=\"Header__rightColumn__KDRfQ\">\n<div class=\"Header__navigationArea__V6uZ7 Header__hasLogo___fSeE\">\n<div class=\"Header__menuArea__ejLNf\">\n<div class=\"Navigation__navigation__zUrTC Header__navigationWithFollowButton__nEvpR Header__hasLogo___fSeE Navigation__hasLogo__ceGP5 Navigation__hasFollowButton__LIgOF\" data-testid=\"navigation\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<nav class=\"Navigation__navBar__tdJ0T\" aria-label=\"Riley Hart Navigation Bar\">Riley Hart is the girl who wears her heart on her sleeve.
