Cole

Watching her drive away, ripped me to pieces. Yes, I knew she was going to call me in a couple of hours, but I already missed her like crazy. I wasn’t going to be able to focus on anything until she called to tell me she was safe.

When I arrive at my cabin almost three hours later, I’m overjoyed to see that my father had picked up my dog, Shrivel Dick, and

that my Husky was fast asleep on my porch.

While I was on the road, my father had called to ask if I wanted him to pick my boy up from the kennel so I didn’t have to. It was a relief because I was tired from the long drive. Being the amazing dad he is now days, he even offered to light a fire in my living room to warm the house through, because it can get very cold living up by the lake when dusk settles in.

On the morning of the my mother’s funeral I’d packed my belongings into the boot of my car, because I’d planned on coming home straight after the wake. As I’m pulling out my bright pink suitcase, I hear a four-wheeler approach.

When the case is on the ground and I’ve closed the boot, I turn to see my father racing towards me.

Pulling up beside me, he kills the engine. “What the hell happened to you? The last I heard you were coming home two days ago?” He questions while wearing a smug grin. That grin tells me he already knows the answer, but because he is such an asshat,

he wants the words to leave my mouth.

“You know where I was,” I tell him, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

He puts his hand on his chest and feigns innocence. “Moi, never.” Yes, I’d definitely inherited my sarcastic nature from my father.

“Fine, I was with Cole.”

“Annndddd?” he presses.

“He wants to get back together. I know I’ll always love him, but I’ve asked him to give me some time to think. Maybe I’ll take him back, maybe I won’t. Only time will tell,” I explain before exhaling. Cole was all I could think about the whole time I was driving home.

“You know you’re going to take him back, but I am glad you didn’t just jump in head first. Make sure you know what you want, then go after it. You deserve to be happy. I know you never stopped loving Cole, but that doesn’t mean he’s the perfect fit for you. I’m not saying he isn’t. I was always working back in the day and I didn’t have a single clue that you were dating him since I was such a shit father. However, please remember that you left him all those years ago with good reason. Just do me a favour and keep that in mind.” He smiles as he reaches out and rests his hand on my forearm.

“I will, dad. I don’t plan on being hurt again.”

“That’s my girl.”

“Right, I really need to get some work done so I don’t lose any clients.
