He was the chaos wrapped in control that my soul begged for. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him because I had a life to build for my baby girl. I wasn’t supposed to break, but piece by piece, Cooper Carrington unspooled the woman I was taught to be… until all that was left was the truth of who I am; Perfectly unraveled.

So, to see how both Casey and Cooper reacted was hilarious. Cooper was actually the calm one and Casey was freaking ...
