“How do you know it’s that serious, baby?” I asked.
She snorted. “Dad, you would’ve never spent a month with her, or tried to, if she wasn’t someone important to you.”
She had a very valid point.
“Yeah,” I agreed. “How would you feel about me asking her to marry me?”
She paused as she thought about that for a second before saying, “I think she’d say no if you asked her right now. It’s too soon. It isn’t, but she’ll think that, because a lot of women think you need to put a lot of time into a relationship to know if you like them or not. But if you give her another two months or so, I’ll bet she’ll say yes then.”
There was my intuitive daughter.
The red and white circus tents started to come into view, and my nerves started to get the better of me.
“Anyway,” she said. “I have to go. We’re going out on the boat today. Trance and Viddy just got a brand new sparkly purple one that apparently makes waves and allows you to surf behind it. I’m not too sure about the water here.”
Getting a surprised chuckle out of me, we said our goodbyes just as I pulled up into the circus.
When I got there, it was to find all of the Singh family in a tight huddle around the picnic tables except for the one I was looking for.
Gazes swung to me when I arrived.
All eyes looked rather accepting and welcoming of my presence except for one, and that was the one with the face similar to my Ari’s.
So much like her, yet nothing alike at the same time.
“Where’s Ari?” I asked.
It was the sourpuss that answered with, “Why do you care?”
“Swear to fuckin’ god, Hades. I will fuckin’ launch you across this goddamn camp if you don’t start acting right,” Keene growled.
Whoa.
“I don’t know why you’re acting like this.” Hades rolled her eyes.
“You don’t know why I’m acting like this?” he asked, looking at his sister as if he didn’t even know her. “You tell your twin, the one person that can stand the sight of you no matter what, that you faked a photo of her boyfriend and some random chick together kissing, let her think that he’s cheating on her, and then watch her fuckin’ fall and possibly break her neck…and you can’t figure out why I’m acting like this?”
Break her neck.
What?!
“Tell me what’s going on,” I ordered, standing to my full height.
Keene looked over at me, then broke it down completely, starting with this morning when she walked into the breakfast area.
I immediately turned around and headed for the truck.
“They won’t let you in!” Hades called out smugly.
I turned and looked at her over my shoulder before saying, “You do know who I am, right?”
Fuckin’ watch me.
I’d just about made it to the rental truck when I was stopped by the tiger.
I wasn’t sure which one name wise, but it was the white one who looked like she was interested in eating me.
“Hello, buddy.” I held out my hand to it.
