Brandon was exhausted. He had spent the last five hours trying to get Fallon to say anything of substance to him but she wasn’t having it. She’d eaten dinner than had wanted to go back down to the lake. He’d taken her for a walk through the woods and had tried to discuss her hobbies, school, friends, but she had blown him off for the most part. She had asked for a bonfire when the sun had gone down and he had complied but then she hadn’t sat still, mostly poking at the logs with a long stick until Grace had reprimanded her.

He knew it was unrealistic to think that Fallon would be all cozy with him but she had a lot of energy and he wasn’t used to catering to a kid. He hadn’t been this tired after a night of debauchery in Vegas where he hadn’t gone to bed until the sun was coming up. At least this was a good tired, as he sat on the deck sipping a bourbon, instead of the wrecked kind. But at the same time, it just illuminated the fact that he had no fucking clue what he was doing when it came to being a parent.

Was the day a success? He had no idea.

Was Fallon okay with him or did she think he was a complete tool? It was anyone’s guess.

He wanted to press Grace on her thoughts and opinions but at the same time he didn’t want to put anything more on her than he already had.

He wasn’t used to not being able to control a situation or solve it with logical. As a kid, he’d been intrigued by people who ran their own businesses and knew he’d never be the guy to work for something else if he could avoid it. He’d become his own boss where every decision was his, for the most part.

That was how he liked it. Being in charge.

This wasn’t his element and he had essentially no power.

He had to let Grace call the shots.

She looked as exhausted as he felt. She was wearing pajama shorts and a tank top with no bra, which was destroying the little peace of mind he had left. He could clearly see her nipples through the tight fabric. She was in the lounge chair next to him with her eyes closed, though she wasn’t sleeping.

Fallon was in her room, and he hoped she was actually asleep, and not going to pop out from behind a slider.

“Can I get you anything?” he asked Grace. “Do you want a glass of wine?”

“No, thanks. I just want eight hours of sleep but I know if I go lay down I won’t be able to sleep. My mind is racing.” She opened her eyes and looked at him. “Your kid was on crack today.”

That made him laugh. “Oh, now she’s my kid? Nice try. I think she’s just… processing. Right? Or is she always like this?”

“She has a lot of energy, but not like this.
