Chapter 21

Dylan

Since coming back to Texas, there are two things in particular that I now remember disliking the most about this state: one, the sun always seems to rise so much earlier here; two, the fucking heat.

Brooke has slept like a baby all night. As for me, I’ve been tossing and turning and getting up on more than one occasion to splash some cold water on my face. And when the sun came up at its ungodly hour, I was already awake—much to my dismay.

I slip into the shower to cool off and wake up. The water feels amazing, helping my dour morning mood, but doesn’t fix it completely. No, for that, I need coffee.

Instead of getting completely dressed, I slip on my boxer briefs before heading downstairs to the kitchen.

At first, I’m delighted at the sight of Brooke’s Keurig, but that quickly fades when there aren’t any K-Cups that are just coffee-flavored coffee.

I find a flavor that looks the most appealing—vanilla hazelnut—and pop it into the machine.

I’ll admit, the smell of the coffee isn’t all that bad as it fills the kitchen—but I know that first impressions can always be deceiving.

I lean back against the counter—the cool granite feels great against my exposed back—and fold my arms over my chest as I watch the dark brown liquid pour into the coffee mug.

It feels like it’s taking forever to fill up, much like this fight against my father and the state is going.

A heavy sigh spills out from pursed lips.

“Sounds like someone is thinking a bit too hard this morning.”

I turn to look at Brooke as she stands in the archway to the kitchen. She’s got her disheveled black hair pulled back into a messy pony tail, and she’s wearing my gray sweater from last night like a night gown.

I’d be lying to myself if I said that this wasn’t a sight I could happily see every morning for the rest of my life.

“It’s too early in the morning to think about anything other than how long it is for this damn coffee to brew.”

Brooke’s smile is so pure, it leaves me a bit weak in the knees.

She closes the gap between us and stands on the tip of her toes to give me a loving good morning kiss, which I gladly reciprocate.

“Vanilla hazelnut?”

“It’s the only one you had that looked remotely drinkable.”

“Well, when it’s done, pop in a chocolate raspberry truffle for me.”

“Yes, ma’am,” I say before giving her another kiss.

No sooner do our lips part does the coffee machine start to sputter as my mug has been filled.

“Mm, perfect timing.”

Her tone is far too cherry for this early in the morning, but then again, she slept rather soundly last night—whereas I didn’t.

“So, here’s an idea. Why don’t you go grab a shower, do your thing, and I’ll not only make your coffee, but I will also make us breakfast?”

“I don’t know if I should be suspicious that you’re trying to get me out of the kitchen; insulted that
