Ian had come to Zane's home to pick up Mina only to hear that she was in the guest room recovering from what Zane described as a serious panic attack. Ian had witnessed Mina's panic attacks, but what Zane described seemed worse than anything Ian had seen. Sadly, Ian's concern for Mina was replaced by jealousy.
The night before, Ian dreamed that he and Mina were getting married, except he was not the only groom. All around Mina were several men who Ian knew were interested in her, and each of them called out to her; listing out the reasons why she should not marry Ian as they did.
Although Ian knew that Zane liked Mina, he knew that his friend would hold back, no matter what he claimed. The problem was that he also understood that Zane would not reject Mina if she were interested and the thought made Ian worry. What if what Mina wanted was the freedom to be with someone else?
