The incessant knocking dragged me from a restless slumber the next morning. I’d tossed and turned most of the night, sleep staying just out of reach until the sun started to come up. The blanket was too scratchy, my favorite pillow too lumpy, my arms painfully empty. I’d longed for Lennon, and somewhere around three or four had decided that sleeping alone was not something I ever wanted to do again.

With an agitated sigh, I dropped my arm over my eyes and tried to ignore the noise. When it came again, pounding this time, I gave in and sat up. I grabbed my phone, swearing when I saw how early it was.

I yanked a shirt from my floor, pulled it over my head, and pushed my arms through the sleeves as I trotted down the stairs. No one I knew knocked, they all just strolled in as if the house belonged to them. Whoever it was better have a damn good reason to be on my doorstep at the ass crack of dawn on a Saturday morning.

I didn’t check the peephole, too tired and cranky. Instead, I yanked open the door. And immediately wished I’d ignored it.

“Uncle Trev.”

I didn’t know if I was more surprised or annoyed. Uncle Trevor had never knocked. In fact, we trusted them so much that each member of the James family had their own key. They were the only ones, other than Tate and Shaun, who knew where the spare was hidden. If he wanted in the house, there was no reason whatsoever for him to wake my ass up.

He didn’t wait for me to invite him in. Instead, he pushed past me into the foyer. I didn’t have the energy to do more than watch as he turned and held up a brown paper bag in one hand and a drink tray in the other.

“I brought breakfast. We need to talk.”

He spun around and walked toward the kitchen, leaving me standing in the open doorway in nothing but my boxers and yesterday’s tee, gaping at him like he’d just lost his mind.

That was it. The last straw. I needed a fucking vacation from my life.

Suddenly a vision of me and Len, secluded in a cozy cabin in the middle of nowhere, hit me. Nothing sounded better than lazy days on a mountain top followed by steamy nights in a hot tub under the stars. One day that would be our life.

For now, I was stuck there, alone with her dad.

Fucking fantastic.

I kicked the door closed and followed him, feeling like a death row inmate headed for execution. There was no hope for me now; the end was near. Nothing good could come from his arrival.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, Trev handed me a cup of coffee and pointed to the island. “Sit.”

I didn’t hesitate. I was too tired, too worried about what he wanted, too desperate to get him out of my house. I took the java and did what he said.
