Uncle Mark told Payne to wait in the car as he walked me to the front door. I looked at my uncle’s face and knew that behind the impassive facade there was a flurry of conflicting emotions just waiting to bubble out.

“Uncle Mark,” I said as I stepped to the door. “I’m sorry that I’ve been such a handful.”

“Bristol, you scare the hell out of me,” he said. “I don’t wanna lose you. We’ve had more than our share of tragedy in this family.”

I tried to stifle a sob and failed miserably. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…” I didn’t want to finish the sentence.

Uncle Mark gave me a hug and kissed the top of my head. “Shh, it’s okay. Just please tell me you’re not going to get into the habit of letting Payne put you in harm’s way.”

“This wasn’t Payne’s fault,” I insisted. “If either of us is to blame, it was me. Please don’t be mad at him.”

Uncle Mark took a step back and looked into my eyes. “Oh, it’s like that, huh?”

I shrugged. “I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Uh huh.” Uncle Mark nodded. “So, you’re dating the McKnight boy now.”

“Uncle Mark,” I said. “I told you I don’t date.”

“Uh huh,” he repeated. “That’s even worse.”

“Worse?” I questioned. “How so?”

“It’s a family trait,” he answered. “Blackburns don’t date. We just meet the person that we belong with. And then that’s that.”

“Uncle Mark,” I responded, “I’m seventeen.”

“I was six when I met Eve. Never looked anywhere else. Never wanted to,” he explained. “He better treat you right.”

“He saved my life,” I said. “If it weren’t for Payne, I wouldn’t be here. All he cared about was keeping me safe. He was incredible. Fearless. He…” Uncle Mark was looking back at me smugly. “But we are not dating!”

Uncle Mark leaned in and gave me one more hug. “Uh huh.”
