It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover (z-lib.org).epub

Ryle looks down at me and then shakes his head. “I don’t think that’s a
good idea,” he says. “She’ll be fine. I’ve had a few beers, probably
shouldn’t be driving.”
“You could at least help her home,” Allysa suggests.
Ryle shakes his head and then pats the roof of the car as he turns and
walks away.
I’m still watching him when Allysa hands me back my phone and says,
“Seriously. I’m really sorry about him. First he hits on you, then he’s a
selfish asshole.” She climbs out of the car and closes the door, then leans
through the window. “That’s why he’ll be single for the rest of his life.”
She points to my phone. “Text me when you get home. And call me if you
need anything. I won’t count favors as work-time.”
“Thank you, Allysa.”
She smiles. “No, thank you. I haven’t been this excited about my life
since that Paolo Nutini concert I went to last year.” She waves goodbye and
walks toward where Marshall and Ryle are standing.
They begin walking down the street and I watch them in my rearview
mirror. As they turn the corner, I see Ryle glance over his shoulder and
look back in my direction.
I close my eyes and exhale.
The two times I’ve spent with Ryle were on days I’d probably rather
forget. My father’s funeral and spraining my ankle. But somehow, him
being present made them feel like less of the disasters they were.
I hate that he’s Allysa’s brother. I have a feeling this isn’t the last time I’ll be
seeing him.
