It was hell seeing her day in and day out. Being close enough to touch, knowing I shouldn’t. Seeing shades of desire in her eyes every time she looked my way. Feeling my body respond every time I was next to her. Her lips were a candy I could suck on. Her eyes were a universe I wanted to get lost in.

I felt my body surrendering the fight with every day that passed.

“Have you ever considered that maybe she’s exactly what you need?” Finley asked as he sipped on his beer, fixated to the game on the TV. “I mean, look at you, dude. You’re clean. You’re doing things again. You were a fucking wreck before she came back around.”

I groaned, taking a sip from my beer. “I know. But she has kids, Fin.”

“Kids are fun.”

I dropped an eyebrow.

“What?”

“Kids are fun? This coming from the guy who skips every one of your nephew’s birthday parties because you’re afraid you’ll catch cooties.”

A grimace picked at his lips. “Kids are gross.”

“Her kids aren’t,” I said, more to myself than to him. “And… could you imagine me in their life? I wouldn’t know the first thing to say. How to act.”

“You’re probably right. You’d for sure fuck them up.” After he dug his hand into the bowl of chips, he stuffed a handful into his mouth.

I shoved him.

“Hey,” he said. “No matter what I say, you’re going to come up with some self-tortured excuse.” He turned a little. “But the truth is you won’t know until you try. She loves you. You love her. The rest will just follow.”

I leaned back against the couch, sipping on my beer. Tossing his words around my head.

The rest will just follow.

Maybe… maybe it would.
