But he’s also an old friend and gaming buddy, and when she needs to hide from her abusive ex, she knows that Alex and his roommates Ethan and Ollie (her former gaming teammates) are the right friends to depend on. Despite the rocky history between them, Kira knows Alex is right when he states that no one can protect her better than he can.
