“Part of me is unreasonably angry at the mother for the time I missed with my kids.” Brick nodded sympathetically. His own daughter had been dumped on his doorstep at five years old. He’d had no prior knowledge of her. “I understand that. I was angry as fuck regarding the time I’d missed, too, but

“Hey, guys, did you hear that?” Cedric shouted gleefully, getting everyone’s attention. “Big E, here, is treating us tonight. Eat up and enjoy!” Cheers went around the table. I sighed.

She stopped in front of her car and glanced around. When she spotted me, she squared her shoulders and advanced, like a brave warrior marching into battle. I wouldn’t

I quickly ran through the events of last night, and Fran listened without comment until I finished. “And you haven’t heard a word since?” “It’s still early.” I sighed, feeling both defeated and relieved.
