/"I don't want to go back, Luci,/" he whispered. A flicker of surprise at how true the words were hit him, but it diminished beneath the dryness of his throat and the stinging of his eyes. /"I don't. And you're right. The way Kyle treated you was unacceptable . . . and I guess that means I didn't deserve the way Adam was treating me./"
/"Talk to Sly./"
Ronan blinked. /"What?/"
/"Talk to Sly,/" Lucien echoed. /"He's been through this, Ro. And he told me how long it took him to realize that what he went through wasn't okay. He told me it took so much hard work and a lot of time for him to understand that it wasn't normal the way his ex treated him. It took meeting Jackson, being treated right for him to really grasp that./"
