I could use a little warmth in my world.

“I love you, Daddy.”

“Love you too, baby girl.”

One month later…

“I’m a dick.”

“You’re a dick.”

“A total asshole.”

“The worst.”

“A monster.”

“Pretty damn ugly too.”

I glower at Carson. “You’re not supposed to agree with me. Where’s your loyalty to our friendship, man?”

“A good friend helps his stupid, blind, idiotic friend pull his head out of his ass. I’m doing my due diligence.” He smirks. “Now can we get back to insulting you?”

I flip him off. “What do I do?”

“I really have to spell this out for you, don’t I? You’re that far gone.”

“Apparently so.”

“Look,” he mutters. “I get that you lost your shit when your dad died. It’s to be expected. But…”

“But?”

“But you fucked up with Sherrie.”

I groan, the familiar aching pain in my chest screaming at me. “I know.”

“Now you have to fix it.”

“I don’t deserve her.”

“If your dad was here right now, what would he want?”

I flinch at his words, hating him in this moment. “Fuck you, man.”

“It’s called tough love, CZ. I’m being an asshole to you because you need to hear it. What would your dad want?”

“For me to get the girl back.”

“Ignoring your bullshit excuses about what you think you do or don’t deserve, what do you want? Truthfully?”

“Sher. God, I want her.”
