“I know you’ve wanted Sophia since she kissed you all those years ago.”
“What?” He knew?
“Why do you think I teamed up with her friends so she had to live with you?”
“Lot of good it did. I love Sophia, but now I’ve lost her.”
He lifts an eyebrow. “You love Little Lamb?”
I growl. “Do not call Sophia Little Lamb. She hates it.”
He grins. “You really do love my sister.”
My heart seizes in my chest. “I love Sophia, but I lost her.”
“Dude.” He slaps me on the back. “Go get her back.”
I could plead my case. Maybe she’ll give me a second chance. “She’s never going to forgive me after today.”
He narrows his eyes at me. “What did you do? Did you hurt her? Do I need to kick your ass?”
“She ran away from me and I didn’t chase her.”
He blows out a breath. “This isn’t going to be easy to fix. Sophia wants someone who will fight for her.”
I nod. “I know. She thinks she’s not worthy of someone fighting for her.”
How she could possibly think she isn’t worthy is beyond me. Sophia is worth everything.
“Why didn’t you fight for her?”
“I froze when she said she loves me. It’s been a long time since someone said they love me. Since my mom died.”
He squeezes my shoulder. “If you love her, you can make this right. Don’t run away the way your father did.”
“I am not my father,” I grumble. I would never cheat on Sophia. If she forgives me, I’ll never leave her side. She’ll be stuck with me until we’re old and gray.
With a start, I realize it’s true. I am not my father. I didn’t realize how worried I was about becoming my father until this very moment. But I’m not him. I’m the man Jack formed me into. Dad had nothing to do with the man I am today.
Weston nods. “Good. Prove it.”
“You seriously approve of me dating your sister?”
“I can’t think of a better man for my sister to be with.”
“You asshole. You put me through hell.”
He shrugs. “It’s my duty as a big brother.”
“But what about your dad? He won’t want me with his daughter.”
“Why not?”
I scratch my neck. “Do I need to remind you of how you didn’t approve of me dating Sophia less than five minutes ago?”
“Go ask Dad if you don’t believe me.” He herds me toward the door. “Come on. I’ll drive. We can strategize a plan on the way.”
Ask Jack? Yes, I need to speak to Sophia’s father. It’s his approval I need. Not my best friend’s.
