[name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] used to argue a lot in the aftermath of the breakup - as he doubted he and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] could remain together thanks to his job - but they’re on better terms now for [name_u]Milo[/name_u]’s sake, and its evident that [name_u]Drew[/name_u] still has feelings for her sister; as much as he tries to downplay them.
