“But what if you want to watch something they don’t have?”
“How did I get so lucky with you?”
“I’ve been asking myself the same question ever since you agreed to that first date.”
“So, what do you want to watch, baby girl? We have the internet at our fingertips.”
Shaking my head, I followed Hen out of the truck. Life with her was certainly an adventure.
Confession: I love a family man.
“Did you see the way Mom looked at her? I think she’s already in love.”
“It’s impossible not to love Hen,”
“I get where you’re com...

“Ready when you are.”
“How do you do it?”
That’s my girl.
“Hen, if this dumbass doesn’t marry you, I will.”
He might have been joking, but I punched him in the shoulder just in case. No way was he coming anywhere near my girl.
“Funny too? Get a move on, man.”
Confession: If I’m being honest, I have no idea how we’ll figure this out.
“Beautiful view down here.”
“If tattoos turn you on, I’ll get more.”
“We’ll figure it out. Right, babe?”
“Right.”
But for the rest of dinner, there was a sinking feeling in my gut. Some things we...

So I slipped out of my clothes, down to my underwear, and slid into bed with her, pressing my front to her back and loving the way her curves felt against me. She was so solid, steady, and I couldn’t imagine ever living without her again.
“Of course. Plus, I want to see that ass in some jeans.”
“Maybe. But I have a gift for you. Go use the bathroom, and I’ll leave it for you on the bed.”
“I’m doing it!” she cried.
“My cum’s going to be dripping out of you in front of my whole family. Because you’re my good girl.”
“Sitting here and pretending to be happy when my grandma’s lying in a hospital bed feels wrong.”
“Let’s go.”
“Honey, you don’t need to apologize to us. Family is everything.”
My eyebrows drew together. That wasn’t even something I’d considered, leaving her when she was going through this. Why would she have thought that’s what I would want? “I’ll be right out here,” I replied.
“Don’t take it personal, honey. She’s always been close with her grandma. I tried to get her to stay there in Texas, but you know how she is.”
“She loves her family more than anything.”
I’d been off galivanting in Texas, riding horses, having sex, being selfish. What other moments, tragedies, would I miss if I moved away to be with Tyler?
I cried for my first real love, the man of my dreams. And I cried for the future we could never have together.
“Imagine my surprise when our security guy sends me a clip of you getting fucking blown on the job site BY THE WOMAN WHO’S SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS RUN SMOOTHLY.”
I had savings, but that would get eaten up quickly with rent going the way it was in this town. But I’d do it. I’d spend every last dime and work any grunt job I could find—if Hen would be my last just like I’d been her first.
Love isn’t convenient. I just hoped she’d think it was worth it.
Confession: I wish I could go back to being the funny fat friend.
“I couldn’t leave you here, Hen. I wanted to be here for you.”
“I couldn’t stay away from you,”
“I love you, and I don’t want this to end. I meant what I said when I told my mom we’d figure it out. I know it’s hard to see an answer right now, but if we put our heads together, we can—”
“Something will be missing if you’re not with me.”
“Tyler, tell me you’d be happy here.”
“I’d give it up, ...
