Foster stepped out into the evening air. He’d avoided Kathy for years, and seeing her again only reminded him why he’d tortured himself since Lisa had died. After his conversation with Jared, he knew he had some serious soul-searching to do, and he’d come to the conclusion that he owed it to himself, his daughter, and Tonya to give life a chance.

Then Kathy had to walk into the restaurant and twist his gut. He shouldn’t be mad at Tonya for not telling her who took care of Maxwell. The fact of the matter was he should have known the moment Tonya had mentioned they had gone to urgent care.

“Foster,” Tonya said with a stern tone. “Wait up.”

He paused in the middle of the dock, staring out at the lake. Country music filled the air. A few other couples strolled down the wood planks, holding hands and enjoying the romantic ambiance. He turned and leaned against one of the pylons. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let her get to me again, but she really has a way of getting under my skin. She can be relentless and I tried being nice. I can’t go through this with her again, and I feel bad that you and your family are now in the middle of it.”

“I probably should have told you that I ran into her, but you haven’t made it easy for me to have a conversation with you lately.”

“This week was busy.”

“I’ll give you that.” She stood a few feet away. “However, now that we’ve been together, you’re acting like you don’t want to be around me.”

He opened his mouth, but she held up her hand.

“I knew when I asked you out that things could go sideways. I know what you’ve been through and what you think you’re capable of and I respect that. I’m a big girl and if this is where this is going to end, then I’m okay with that. Actually, I’d rather do it now, before we end up hating each other. Your friendship is more important to me.”

He set his drink on the post. “I suck at relationships.” He ran a hand across the top of his head. “I don’t want things to end, and I’m sorry that I avoided you.”

“So I wasn’t crazy.”

“But it’s not what you think.” He reached out and cupped the side of her face. “We went a little too fast and I needed some time to think. To slow down. I wanted to talk to you about it. However, it was never the right time, or I didn’t know what to say.”

“Yeah. You should have said something.”

“I know.” He brushed his mouth over her sweet lips. “I wish you would have told me about Kathy, though.”

“It’s been seven years. She’s a smart woman. Why is she holding on to you?”

“She told me that someday I’d come back to her and I told her that would never happen. At the courthouse, after Victoria’s sentencing, I said some of the most horrible things I could have ever said to someone.
