I DON’T GO BACK TO the house, instead I go to the park and sit on a swing, staring off into the darkness, wondering why the hell things keep ending like this for me. I’m off in my own little world when a set of hands slide around the chains beside mine, and I know whose they are. Jagger. He pulls the swing back and lets it go, swinging me gently. We do this for a while, him pushing me and neither of us speaking.

Finally, he grips the chains and slows the swing down, leaning in to wrap his arms around my neck and pull me backward into his chest. When my head is resting against the hard wall of muscle, he reaches down and lifts me off the swing, carrying me over and setting me on the soft grass beside it. I’m not ready to tell him about his dad just yet, not when he’s being so damned perfect.

“I’m sorry about the way Aunt Mary behaved. If I had known she was going to do that, I wouldn’t have invited her over. She was wrong.”

“She doesn’t like me,” I mumble, turning to face him.

“Give her time. She didn’t like Sharleen at first, either. So don’t let that fool you. She can be like this.”

“She thinks Sharleen was all sunshine,” I mutter. “And me, I’m just rain. Dark gloomy rain.”

He strokes my cheek. “I like rain.”

“Maybe she’s right,” I say on an exhale. “Maybe I am dark, maybe I am no good for you.”

“She’s not right. I know what I want, and I’ve never been so clear about where my life needs to go. My life is with you, it was since the moment I laid eyes on you. I’m not givin’ you up again. No fuckin’ way.”

“She’s your family.”

“You’re my family.”

I lean in, pressing my face into his chest. He kisses me, long and deep, hands roaming, bodies touching, and it feels good. So good I want to live in it a little longer before I drop the bomb I’ve been hanging onto since he found me in the park.

I have to tell him about his father eventually. “I have to tell you something ...”

He puts his hands to my shoulders, pushing me back. “Don’t like your tone.”

“When I ran out before, there was someone waiting in a truck over the road, and I crashed into him.”

“Who was it?”

I give him a sympathetic expression. “Your father.”

He’s up before I can say another word. I’ve never seen someone move so fast. Before I can even make it to my feet he’s charging across the road. I rush after him, confused as hell by his reaction. It was not at all what I was expecting.

“Jagger!” I call, but he doesn’t stop.

When we reach the complex, he charges in the direction of Bull’s apartment, and just as he reaches it, Bull steps outside with a blond woman by his side, laughing about something. When he sees Jagger, his eyes widen.

“Boss, what’s goin’
