Clay tried to stop Lexi from leaving without him “Hop in and I’ll drop you off at your truck.” Lexi stepped on the gas before Clay even closed the door. “I appreciate your help, but it’s over with now. I’m taking your advice and steering clear of them. While they’re eating it gives me a chance to check in at the ranch and head out before they return.” “My advice was before you found out, not after.” Clay held on to the dashboard while Lexi turned off Main Street. “Follow your heart, Lexi, but try not to kill us in the process.” “No, absolutely not.” Following her heart was selfish. “This isn’t about what I want. I take that back...yes, it is. I want Hunter to be healthy and happy and he is. He doesn’t need to know I’m his biological mother.” Minutes later they were in her driveway, behind his truck. Clay stepped from the Mustang and before he could say another word, Lexi threw the car in Reverse and left Clay with no other option than to close the door and let her leave.
