We ate, listening to music and the sound of crashing waves. She had a few fruity alcoholic drinks while I sipped on the bourbon in my flask. She found it amusing that the flask was custom-engraved to say, “It’s Mr. Black to You.”

“Who made that for you?” she asked, biting into a carrot.

“Izzy. It was a Christmas gift. It was a little joke she made when she brought one of her friends to San Francisco once.” I read over the bold red letters. “Her friend called me Theodore the first time she met me—my full damn name. I had to scratch my head when I heard it and Izzy could only laugh when I said to her, ‘It’s Mr. Black, but nice to meet you.’” I laughed. “Funny, she hasn’t brought that friend back since then.” I ran a hand over my damp hair. “As a matter of fact, she hasn’t brought anyone around in a while. No friends. No boyfriends, which is good news by the way.” I rolled my eyes at that and Chloe smacked her teeth, swatting a hand at me.

“She can have boyfriends, crazy!”

“Not around me, she can’t.” I placed the flask down and she started drawing circles in the sand outside her towel.

“Why do you think she hasn’t brought anyone around? You think it might be because of me?” she asked.

“What makes you think that?”

“I don’t know.” She hesitated, avoiding my line of sight. “Maybe, deep down, she’s afraid another one of her friends might fall for you. She doesn’t want to go through that again. I mean, you are hot, Theo. Hot as hell. I think sometimes you forget that.”

I scoffed. “I’m an old man that just so happened to fall for my daughter’s former best friend. Was it planned? No. Would I ever do it again with another one of her friends? Fuck, no. Do I regret what happened between us? Hell, no.”

She blushed at that, twisting onto her knees and crawling towards me. “I guess you are an old man now, huh?” she teased, eyes trained on my lips. “Your gray hair looks good on you, though. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“Yeah, yeah. That’s what you say now. But when I’m sixty and you’re forty—”

“I will still love you,” she said, louder than me, so I couldn’t finish my sentence. “I don’t care about the age. I never have. I love you because you’re you, and I wouldn’t have my Theodore Benjamin Black any other way.”

All right. I admit, that one snagged my heart a little.

I grabbed her upper arms. “Come here,” I chuckled as I pulled her on top of me.

She yelped as I squeezed her ass in my hands, but she didn’t hold off on kissing me. She molded against my body, sinking between my legs, combing her fingers through the silver hair that I somewhat hated, but dealt with because it came with age.

But if she loved it, I’d keep it.

Because I was hers.

Forever hers.
