LOREN
Loren raised his eyebrows at Phoebe’s comment. ”I’m sure it did. And now?” There was something almost amused about his tone.
Smiling outright as she agreed to his terms, he nodded. ”Good.” Then his smile turned into a bit of a smirk. ”Not that I mind a good fight now and then.” He watched her reaction to that particular revelation closely.
”I do know him well actually.” Reaching out, he clasped Phoebe’s shoulder in a firm, but friendly grip. ”And there’s no doubt he’s a selfish prick. I’ve told him that before.”
Then he tilted his head to the side and frowned. ”But he’s not going to change. And you can’t change people’s reactions to him. So why waste more time getting hung up on him when it’s just holding you back?” There was an honest confusion in his voice, though he accompanied his words with a sympathetic and understanding look.
