I step into my parents’ house and find my dad sitting on the sofa. He smiles when he sees me. “There’s my girl.” Dad stands up and comes toward me, pulling me into a hug. “How was your trip?”

“It was good. I’m glad that I went.”

He looks at me closely. “You’re not sleeping.”

The truth of the matter is I only seem to sleep well when I’m in bed with Maverick, and if I wake up while in bed with him, he usually knows how to get me falling back asleep. I haven’t seen him in a week. He’s been working crazy shifts, and I didn’t want to be in his way while he was trying to sleep in between shifts.

Maverick asked me to watch Butch and occasionally walk him while he’s working. I love that freaking dog and we’ve spent a lot of time together. He even went with me and my brother hiking the day before and goes with me on runs in the morning.

We’ve talked some, but not as much as I’d like. I hate to admit that I’ve missed him and every night we’ve slept apart, I wake up at some point and can’t fall asleep again. Luckily I’ve been able to hide it from my parents by staying at the apartment at Wings Out.

Not wanting to get sucked into the abyss of using TV to fall asleep, I’ve started writing about my travels and doing it on a budget. The most expensive part of my trips is always the airfare.

I let Dad lead me into the kitchen. He grabs us both some water and we sit side by side at the kitchen counter. “You look tired.”

“Wow, thanks Dad.” I knew I should’ve used the concealer before I left.

Dad shakes his head. “No, I’m sorry I didn’t mean for it to sound like that. You’re beautiful and have been since you were a tiny baby.” He brushes my hair back from my face. “Your mom and I are worried about you. I know you’re spending a lot of time with Maverick. Do you think that’s a good idea? He’s got a reputation.”

I shake my head. “If the stories are true, the Malone brothers had a bit of a reputation too. You have nothing to worry about. Plus, we’re just friends. He took care of me when I thought we were gonna die.” I say that last part quietly.

He pulls me into a hug, holding me so tight it is almost suffocating, but I know he needs this. “You’re my baby girl. I’m always going to worry about you.”

My eyes begin to burn, but I blink it away. The truth is that I don’t know how I feel about Maverick. If I think about it or him, everything gets jumbled in my brain. “I love you, Dad.”

“I love you too, sweetheart.”
