Beckett tossed his dad’s shoes in the corner, clamping his teeth down on the words he wanted to say. Words that would be forgotten by morning anyway. He glanced at his dad, eyes closed, a bit of drool at the corner of his mouth, and wanted to shake the man. Instead he shut off the light and closed the door, whispered a prayer he’d stay put until Madison was gone.

He entered the living room and found Madison perched hesitantly on the couch. She looked at him with wide, unsure eyes, and he realized the scene she’d witnessed, so familiar to him, was completely foreign to her.

His face burned as he stopped by the recliner. “Sorry about that.”

She waved his apology away. “No, it’s fine.”

It wasn’t fine. It wasn’t fine at all. He’d known she’d get a glimpse of his world eventually, but he hadn’t wanted it to be so soon.

She stood, hitching her purse on her shoulder. “I should go anyway. It’s getting late.”

He was torn between wanting relief from the tension and wanting to be with her. But the easy camaraderie was gone, and there was no saving this night.

“I’m sorry,” he said again at the door when she turned.

She reached up and set her hand on his cheek, and he read the pity in her eyes before she kissed him.
