“He knows you didn’t hate him, Tucker.”

My eyes burned and I blinked to hold back the tears.

“I don’t think so, man. I meant it when I said it, and he heard it in my voice. I was so fucking mad at him though. He cheated on my mom, and he wanted to explain it to me. How the hell do you explain that?”

“I don’t know. I’m beginning to think that love is just some made-up bullshit.”

We looked at each other.

Nash stood. “Fuck this shit. Let’s grab some beer and go to the lake.”

I lifted a brow. “It’s morning still. Don’t you have work?”

“Yeah, but I’m the boss. I suddenly feel like drinking and casting some lines.”

“Sounds damn good to me. Let me change into something else and grab my poles.”

Running down the hall, I heard my phone ping.

Please be Charlie.

I picked it up and saw it was from my sister.

Lily: What’s going on? Charlie isn’t answering me, you’re not answering me and Nash is sending my calls to voicemail.

Me: I’m fine. I’ll let Charlie know, as well. Nash is here. We’re going fishing.

She didn’t reply in a text but instead called me.

“Hey,” I said weakly. I still couldn’t believe Nash and my sister were hooking up and she was the one to break his heart.

“Nash is there? Can you have him call me?”

“I think he’ll talk to you when he’s ready.”

Silence filled the air between us. “You know?”

Her voice was quiet and a bit shaky.

“Yeah, he told me.”

“I’m sorry, Tucker. I knew you wouldn’t be happy about it and honestly, it was just … two friends having a good time.”

There was no fucking way I was talking about this with my sister.

“Whatev

er, Lily. I need to go. I’ll let him know you’re wanting to talk to him.”

“Thanks. I’m getting ready to head out sailing with … um, I just wanted to make sure he was okay.”

I let out a sharp laugh. Damn women. Even my own sister.

“He’s fine.” I said, feeling a bit guilty I was being so short with Lily.

“Don’t you dare judge me, Tucker Middleton. I never promised him anything.”

“That’s between y’all, Lily. I need to go. Be careful today, okay?”
