“I guess that’s all there is to it.”

I muttered that line to myself repeatedly all the way from City Brewing Coffee to the clubhouse. I said it as if I was trying to convince myself of its veracity. It was like I needed to believe it, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so.

Would it really have been much of a surprise to tell her that her uncle, Rick Richards, was also Vulture, the president of the Anarchists and one of the men I hated the most in this world? Would she have believed me if I stated that Vulture had killed my father? Would it have bothered her if I told her I broke up with her so that her uncle would continue to think of her as a normal Richards girl and not someone dating the son of his most hated enemy?

I only needed to think of the words to realize that yes, she would have thought it was ridiculous and stupid. Heather had never said an ill word of anyone in her family when we were kids. Though she was certainly a much nicer person than I was or most women I knew, it wasn’t like she had never said a bad word about anyone. She’d had her moments when she had critiqued classmates or friends.

And yet, there was never a bad word about anyone in her family.

So, yeah. It wasn’t a question of truth versus protection. I actually hadn’t hid much from her.

It was a question of Vulture versus Brock. The boyfriend, or the uncle? Future love, or current family?

I knew that I was pretty important to her. But I also knew that part of Heather’s appeal was how close she was to her family.

I pulled up to the shop, muttering to myself about how that’s all there was to it. I still couldn’t stop saying the phrase, because I still couldn’t believe that it was over. I still couldn’t believe how stupidly rigid I’d been.

But then again, Heather had also been pretty inflexible with all things considered. She hadn’t budged an inch on her side. So, I guess it worked out. If we were going to argue over that, who knew what else we were bound to argue over as time went by?

I parked my bike, weakly put the kickstand down, and walked over to Parker, Landon, Tyus, and two prospects playing poker. Landon saw me first, nodding to me.

“Sup, bro,” he said.

I just snorted and looked at the game.

“Who’s winning?” I said, half-interested.

“Fucking prospect over there,” Parker said. “Asshole apparently used to play a lot in Vegas. Motherfucker think he gon’ take money from me.”

“Easy, Parker,” I said, but Parker just burst out laughing when he saw the fear on the prospect’s face.

“Hey, it ain’t nothin’ but a game, right?” Parker said. “I’ll find a way to get that cash back somehow. Winners, after all, gotta buy the alcohol.”

The poor prospect again looked like he was about to shit himself, much to the delight of Parker.
