Ian chuckled taking Oliver's hand and shaking it. "Only if you want me to give you a similar speech," he said a hint of humor in his voice before his face sobered slightly.

"I'll tell you what...I promise you that I'll do everything I can not to intentionally hurt Mia...if you promise to do the same. You're important to her and I'm not sure you realize how much your opinion means to her."

He smiled, a fond look in his eyes as he spoke. "She's tough and stubborn, but under all that...I'm pretty sure she just wants to know she has people around her who love her."

He swallowed hard not looking away from Oliver's eyes, voice steady. "So I guess it's up to us to show her she does?"
