  Summary

  Ryland Grace hadn't been a saint in college, but some of the rumors about him were blown out of proportion.

  Like the one stating he never went for the same guy twice. Thomas was an exception to that rule, had always been, would have always been had things not ended the way they did.

  Good thing apparently he's Colt's boss now, at least Ryland can finally know what happened all those years ago.
