Chapter 24. Hurt by Ryan's Behaviour

With the others joining them at the bonfire, Victoria and Sandy didn't get to talk anymore. Cameron proposed to Mila and she agreed to marry him. The ring was indeed spectacular! Mila cried with happiness and somewhere deep in her heart, Victoria felt a little jealous of her. She wished Ryan would propose to her in the same way! They all laughed, drank, ate, and enjoyed. All but Victoria! Seeing Ryan's indifference towards her made her sad. It was so different from how he was with her when they were alone inside the room. She felt as if Ryan's feelings for her were just physical. He didn't love her at all! 

She watched him laughing and drinking with Dylan and the boys. Cassidy was still there, hanging on his arm and trying to drink from his whiskey glass. Victoria's blood boiled as a hopeless feeling of jealousy and frustration coursed through her. It seemed she wasn't a priority in his life.
