Present:

“Just a minute!” I yell out, securing my gun and holster as I walk toward the door. I open it, not really looking at who is standing there and assuming it’s my mother. That’s my first mistake, apparently.

“We need to talk,” my father says, and I immediately jerk my head around to look at him.

I don’t feel much for my father. Our relationship has always been a little strained, but after Petal, it just got worse. When I look at him now, it is with surprise, but also disbelief. His suit is disheveled to say the least. There’s a red stain on his white shirt. I venture to say it’s lipstick. It looks as if he hasn’t shaved in a couple days, at least. I can’t smell the alcohol, but I have to wonder if he’s been drinking. Shit! This is the last thing I need tonight.

“What are you doing here?” I growl, rubbing the back of my neck in frustration.

“I’m here to see you,” my father answers, pushing his way inside.

“Dad, I’m in a hurry here.”

“Where are you going? To meet that little cunt again? Jesus, have I taught you nothing, Luka boy?”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“You know what I’m talking about. You’ve been using that Lucas pussy to wet your dick again.”

I don’t think; I just punch him on instinct. He goes down instantly, staggering against the sofa.

“You don’t talk about Petal like that, you sorry son of a bitch!” I warn him.

He stays where he’s at, rubbing the side of his face. I feel a little bit of vindication when I see his bottom lip is split and I can see blood.

“Is this what we’ve come to? You’re picking that—?”

“I’m not warning you again,” I growl, stopping him before he calls Petal anything else. He shouldn’t even be able to say her name.

“You’re picking her over your family again. Wasn’t it enough that she ruined your life?”

“She didn’t ruin my life. You never understood that. It didn’t matter how much I told you, you never listened. Petal made life better.”

“She destroyed everything!” he growls.

“How can you say that? You son of a bitch! She’s never done anything to you. She tried like hell to fit in our family, but you never let her.”

“She’s a lying bitch! She trapped you in that marriage!”

“She gave me a son I love!”

“She destroyed all your plans! Because of her—”

“Because of her, I’m happy!”

“Bullshit. You’re just thinking with your dick.”

“I don’t have time for this right now. I’ve got a call I have to go out on. You need to leave.”

“Not until we talk—”

“We have nothing to say to each other. You would think you’d at least try to get along with the woman who gave you your only grandchild.”

“I don’t even know if he’s your kid.”

“Daddy? What’s going on?” River asks from the door.

Fuck. That’s just what I need.

“Nothing, son. Go back to bed. Daddy will be there in a minute,” I tell him, doing my best to keep the anger out of my voice.
