“Your confidence is incredibly cocky. I suppose being a musician has given you a distorted sense of perspective. Let me tell you something you may want to bear in mind. Your shoes may be placed under my wife’s bed right now, but I’ve seen you together. You are far too young to manage a woman like Billie.”
“Actually, Billie is your ex-wife, my girlfriend, and the way you talk about her anyone would think you were talking about an unbroken horse.”
“What horse?” Colby asked, as he came downstairs minus the blue wool sweater he’d been wearing, looking more comfortable in the set of green Christmas themed pajamas his grandparents had sent him.
“There is no real horse, buddy, I was explaining something to your dad,” I replied.
“You should listen Dad, Sawyer gives good advice.” I chuckled at Colby’s timely reminder to Logan where I stood with him and his mom. I exchanged a small smile and a satisfied look came back toward me from Billie, but this was quickly masked.
“Come on, Colby, say goodbye to your dad. You’ll see him again a week from Friday,” she added, confirming the date to set this in Colby’s young mind.
Colby hugged his dad quickly then turned his attention to me, asking me to come and see the new skill he had learned on his gaming machine. It was clear Billie wasn’t interested in having any more time alone with her ex-husband, so I nodded to Colby and held up a finger.
“Give me one minute here. Go set it up and I’ll be right there,” I replied, opening the front door wider. “Drive carefully, Logan, there are a lot of out-of-state vacation drivers out there and the weather doesn’t help make the roads any safer,” I stated, dismissively. He flashed me another scowl and walked past me. He stepped outside and stuffed his hands in his pockets; he began to turn, as if he were going to say something, but Billie came up behind me and closed her front door firmly behind him.
