CHAPTER 16

THOMAS

“Can you pick Ender up from work later?” I asked. “I’m thinking about going for a hike and—”

“I can,” BJ said. “But I think you should…”

“And why is that, young lady?” I asked, crossing my arms across my chest as I leaned back against the kitchen counter.

“I just … I think you doing little things for him makes him feel more secure with—“ she began.

“BJ, I’m not interested in—“

“Oh, bullshit, dad!” BJ snapped, though her tone was humorous. “I can see you’re interested in him!”

“As I was saying, I’m not interested in pursuing anything with him,” I said. “Yes, I do care about his well-being, and I don’t want to muddy the waters… I don’t want anything muddled by confusing power imbalances.”

“Well, he’s into daddies,” she said. Then she smirked and said, “Like the sound of that?”

“BJ—“ I began to caution her to tread carefully.

“In the interest of transparency,” she said, her tone gently mocking. “I should probably come clean…”

“What did you—?”

She held up a hand and said, “Don’t interrupt? Just let me get through this before you bite my head off?”

I glared at my daughter but nodded.

“I talked to Ender last night,” she said. “I talked to him about what you and I discussed and confronted him about his crush on you—“

“He doesn’t have a—“

“Yeah, dad, he does!” she said. “He admitted that. And he knows there are some… difficulties, but they’re not enough that they need to get in the way, unless you insist…”

I was flummoxed, but I took a moment to collect myself and was about to speak when she picked up again.

“But the part I need to come clean about is … well, I knew he’d get hearts in his eyes as soon as he saw you before I invited him to stay,” she said.

“You’re friends, so you know his type and—“

“No interrupting,” she said, holding up her hand. I nodded again. “And for me that was a perk. It’s why I sold him so hard on this, and why I pushed so hard for you to accept it. And it’s why I made sure he moved in a week before I did and—“

“A week?” I asked. “It was one day!”

“I’m going back to campus tomorrow night, dad,” she said. “I’ve got finals all week, and I only brought home the things I didn’t need… Ender only has final papers left so he didn’t need to stay with that douchebag any longer than necessary.”

“You’re right about that,” I nodded.

“You get what I’m saying, right?” BJ asked, trying to read my face.

“I guess not,” I said.

“Ender’s way smarter than you about these things then,” she said. “I didn’t let on anything, really, and he called me out on it last night. He accused me of trying to set the two of you up, and while I don’t like that way of putting it…”

Damn, you’re stupid, I told myself. I had been so sure that Ender was off limits because of BJ, it never occurred to me
