Chris still didn't trust either of them and had mentally vowed to keep an eye on things. Just in case. No one hurt his aunt. Or any of his family, really. Chris was nothing if not protective. He wouldn't be in this mess if he weren't fighting so hard to save Wyatt.
"It sounds easy when you say it," Chris said skeptically. "Just be happy. But there's a lot more involved. Trust. And hard work." Maybe this was why he'd always gone to his grandfather for advice on love.
Or maybe it was just because his dad was never around.
"You guys weren't supposed to fall in love, anyway. Wyatt and I weren't under the Elders' rules, so it was a lot different." Not that he'd ever seen Wyatt in love. Maybe he had some girl, he didn't know. They didn't talk about things like that. Or...much of anything.
