Yes, maybe you should come tomorrow.

Okay.

Part of me wanted to go over there anyway and confront my brother about talking shit to Sophie. But then I knew I would be raging all night. Which meant I would drink as much as I could get my hands on. And then I would put a serious damper on a night with Sophie. She didn’t need to see my mess that up close and personal. And she deserved a second night even better than the first.

How did I know she deserved that?

No freaking clue.

But my gut was telling me to do right by Sophie. That almost nothing in my life was worth much at the moment, but this? This I could do.

I drank orange soda, letting its sweet, sugary, cool fizz settle my rebellious gut as I thought about Sophie. The air was briny, but all I could think about was Sophie’s scent, and how sweetly she had come apart for me.

One and done.

Christian could fuck himself.

But the moment was ruined. Now, as I watched the water dance beneath the sunlight, Christian and Ali, fucking in her bed, overtook thoughts of Sophie in mine. Like always, my brother intruded into anything that was good in my life.

I wished I had a drink.
