“TEAGAN!” I ROARED, BANGING on her bedroom door with my fist. “For fuck’s sake, don’t be like this.”

“Go away,” I heard her scream seconds before music blared from her bedroom, obviously intending to block me out.

“You know what?” I roared, kicking the door once in frustration. “Fucking suit yourself,” I muttered as I turned around and walked away. My brows shot up in surprise when I walked out of her apartment and straight into…

“Colton?” I shook my head and gaped.

What the hell…

“Noah?” Colt exclaimed, clearly puzzled, as he struggled to rebalance himself. “What the hell are you doing here, man?”

“I could ask you the same question,” I replied before embracing my nephew in a hug.

“Dad sent me to make sure Hope got her ass on a plane home,” he told me with a grin. “It’s good to finally see you, man,” he added. “It’s been too long.”

I hadn’t seen any of the Carter’s since my mother’s funeral. I knew it was a dick move, but I had needed space, time to come to terms with the path my life was going in. And time to take on board the fact that I had a family that wanted me. I’d never had that before them, and I had handled it all fucking wrong. “I needed time, Colt,” I told him, hoping he would understand my seven year absence. “I wasn’t exactly in the right frame of mind back then,” I added in a gruff tone.

“Dude, shut the fuck up,” he chuckled, patting me on the back, before staggering through the open doorway of the girls apartment. “I’m too drunk for this deep and meaningful talk.”

Laughing at Colton’s easygoing disposition, I followed him back inside, choosing to remain in the doorway. “Hard night?”

“Like you wouldn’t believe.” I watched as Colton dug around in the fridge for a moment before removing the orange juice and swigging it straight from the carton. “Dude, I’m totally wasted. It’ll be a miracle if they let me board the airplane,” he told me with a grin.

“When are you guys leaving?” I asked, curious. Checking the time on my phone, I swore loudly when I saw that it was after six in the morning.

Christ, where the hell had the time gone?

“Now,” I heard Hope reply as she staggered down the hallway with a pair of sunglasses covering her eyes, and a baseball cap on her head, looking rougher than I’d ever seen her look before. The case she was carrying wasn’t closed properly and items of clothing were hanging out.

“Come on, Colt, we’re late,” she muttered, shoving her case into her brother’s arms and pushing him towards me.

Unfolding my arms, I stepped back to let them pass.

“Yes ma’am,” Colt replied, saluting me before he stepped through the doorway. “Wait, where the fuck is the door?” I heard him ask himself in a puzzled tone before going out of sight.

“Oh yeah, mister-I-have-no-respect-for-other-people’s-property,” Hope growled, poking me in the chest with her finger before rushing down the hallway after her brother.
