Chapter 174 Some Context

• AIDEN WALKED for a long time. He didn’t pay much attention to his surroundings. He found an old logging road and followed it. When it was time to return, he’d simply retrace his steps.
• But when would it be time to return? After a couple hours, when the sun got hot and his mouth got dry, he turned around, but he wasn’t sure he was actually ready to talk about any of it.
• Cade had an ugly past. Cade hadn’t told him about it. It was the second part that hurt most. If Cade had told Aiden, right at the start… but why should Cade have been expected to share his secrets with someone he barely knew? So Cade should have told him later. But when, exactly? When was the right time for telling your boyfriend you used to sell sex?
