Sasha was quiet on the drive to her grandparents providing little more than one-word answers to anything Josh asked. He worried she’d noticed the face-off thing between Michael and Jason at the courts but when he tried to ask her about it she clammed up. It would keep. There was enough between them with the whole school project thing without borrowing trouble.

At his parents’ house, Michael waited in the car while Josh walked Sasha to the front door. Before he got a chance to go up the stairs she pulled him down to eye level and patted his cheek. “You’ll be back as soon as you can tomorrow, Dad, won’t you?”

He nodded. “I promise. Now be nice and remember they’re old and change is hard. They love you and amazingly, I believe they love me, even if they can’t accept me. Sometimes you have to take what you can get, and you don’t need to fight my battles for me, princess.”

“I know, Dad. It’s just…” She blew out a sigh. “Nothing, it doesn’t matter.” She kissed his cheek, hesitating a moment before pulling back. “I saw him kiss you,” she said softly.

Shit. Josh’s throat tightened. He stared at his daughter trying to read her expression, but it gave little away. “You mean Michael?”

She nodded. “He kissed you and held your hand.”

Josh momentarily panicked then pulled himself up and blew out a sigh. Suck it up. He ran a hand through his daughter’s hair. “Yeah, he did. I didn’t mean for you to see that, pumpkin. I’m sorry if it upset you.”

She studied him, looking for something. Whatever it was, she seemed to find it and nodded. “It’s okay, you know. It was just a surprise. I didn’t know you two were…”

“We’re not,” he leapt in, taking her hands. “I’ve only just met him, sweetheart. I like him, but I’m not sure we’re a good match. We’re still getting to know each other. Right now, he’s just a friend.”

She frowned. “But he kissed you and you always say only to kiss someone you really like.”

Ugh. Does a fuck buddy qualify? God help him. Josh needed to get out of this conversation fast. “Sometimes it’s a bit more complicated than that,” he answered. “But I do like him.”

She seemed to think about that. “Does that mean you and Jase…” She didn’t finish the question.

Damn. Michael had been right. He lifted her chin. “You understand that Jase and I aren’t ever getting back together, right?”

Her gaze slid away.

Fuck. “You still miss him, huh?”

“Sometimes,” she answered quietly. “He was crazy good at the Sims and he got me all the cheats.” She fiddled with the hem of her shirt. “But he did something, right?”

Josh nodded carefully. “He did. He hurt me. But we’re all good now.” He pulled her tight to his chest.

Sasha lifted her eyes to his. “You don’t mind he comes to see me?”

Yes, I fucking hate it. Josh would have preferred Jason to have taken his sorry cheating ass as far
