“I can’t believe you’re defending him.” “I’m not. Just trying to understand. I’ve learned there are three types of people in this world. The truly evil. And the unselfish...” She places a hand over my heart. “People who were born with an innate goodness.” Her smile falters. “But then there are the rest of us who struggle through the gray areas of life, wanting to do right but messing up more often than we get right.”

“Stay down,” I order. “Or it’ll be more than your nose I break.” I watch Abbott from the corner of my eyes, in case he makes another stupid move like trying to get up. Nolan is standing on the porch, and I want to punch my brother again for the fear I see in my kid’s eyes.

“Damon?” “Yeah, bud?” “I...I think,” he says tentatively. “I think I’m going to like having a dad.” Gutted. That’s what I am. Words get stuck in my throat. Because this right here is everything I didn’t know I’d been missing for the past eleven years. And nothing and no one will ever take it away from me again.

"Were you ever going to tell me?” “I...I don’t know. I’m sorry,” I whisper. “Sorry.” He gives a harsh laugh. “You kept my kid from me for ten f-ing years.” “You think I wanted that? I thought...I was doing the right thing.”
“The right thing would have been to tell me. And if you have even the faintest thought of running again, I promise you on my life, I will track you down. I won’t let you keep him from me.”

“What are you doing?” “You’ve pulled a gun on me, tried to take off with my truck, which you crashed into a tree, and ran from me twice.” I tug at the cuff. “Take this off.” “I’m not taking any more chances. Now, give me your other wrist.” “No way.” He can’t be serious. “You can’t arrest me.” “Actually, I can.

“We’ll get him back.” I wish I could go back in time and change the whole direction of our lives. “I promise you.” Unspoken words pass between us. A hundred apologies, a thousand what-ifs, and so much damn pain it cracks something in my chest. Her palms rest on my chest, and I’m pretty sure she can feel my heart beating with the truth of what I want to say. What I need to say. There’s never been anyone but you.

It is her. If I had any doubt before, I know the truth now. Wide hazel eyes stare up at me under the bill of her hat, her expression tormented, and I can tell she wants to run. No chance in hell I’m letting you get away this time, sweetheart. Especially not when she’s clearly in some kind of danger.

My girl was broken, damaged, and yet I loved her. Because I saw her. Saw the gentleness and hope and strength that pushed her forward when everything else in her life was a s***show. I’d made promises to spend the rest of my life loving those pieces back into place. Love doesn’t hurt. Expectations do. It wouldn’t be until years later that I’d realize how true those words were.
