Mackenzie lets out a yawn from the spot next to me on the couch. She’s turning into quite the night owl when she’s with me at night.

Monopoly didn’t last long for us because I let her win. I love a good board game but who has the time and patience for this particular one? So I let her buy all the big name blocks and she won the entire game about an hour later when I went bankrupt.

“Why don’t you head to bed. You seem tired,” I tell her.

She groans, but stretches her arms out above her head. “I don’t want to go to bed. I’m not ready.”

“It’s almost ten.”

“But I like hanging out with you,” she admits.

Talk about making a grown man feel all the feels. Kids are so funny because they don’t hold back their feelings. When they say something, they usually mean it and they mean it with their whole heart. Hearing Mackenzie admit this makes the grip she already has on me only tighter.

“I like hanging out with you too, Kenzie,” I say giving her a little shoulder slug.

She laughs at that. “Can I tell you something, Ollie?”

“Anytime. You can always tell me anything.”

“I hate when people call me anything other than Mackenzie.”

She what?

I’ve seriously been calling her a name she hates since the day we left the mountains and I’m just learning now that she actually hates that nickname? Fuck.

“Why didn’t you tell me? You should have said something the first time. I would have called you by your full name.”

Mackenzie shrugs her shoulders. “I didn’t want you to.”

I stare at her, blinking as I try to understand what this means.

“You’re so cool,” she continues. “And the fact that you made that nickname sound so awesome made me want you to keep calling me that.”

“I think you’re pretty cool too,” I tell her the honest truth.

She smiles but another yawn quickly follows after that.

“How about we make a deal? Fifteen more minutes of this show and then it’s bedtime. Does that work for you?”

Mackenzie nods. “That’s a deal I can work with.”

She settles into me and I can’t help but think about how my life has drastically changed in the last few months. In the best way possible.

I get it now. I do.

Why Thomas would drop anything and everything for his son.

Why Thomas was head over heels for Peyton as quickly as he was.

Why Marc couldn’t stay away from Avery even if he tried.

The woman I met on a flight home from work had to go and change everything. I’m not afraid to admit that it scared the crap out of me when I heard Macey was a mom. I’ve always tried to avoid them at all costs because I knew I wasn’t built for a relationship. I never once had plans to stick around long enough with anyone and I couldn’t do that to a kid.

On top of my transient lifestyle, no part of me has felt like I had any fatherly instincts. It all came so naturally for my dad, being able to balance work and family life.
