I lay back down, but didn’t turn away from Davit.
So much of what I was going through was because of him, but still, I relied on him.
Needed him.
I told myself it was hormones making me soft, but whatever the reason, I found myself looking to him, when I probably shouldn’t have.
“It doesn’t matter, not really. I still want to see him,” I said.
“Okay. But may I ask why?”
I didn’t have an answer, not for a long time, but when I finally did speak, I told the truth.
“I don’t know.”
It didn’t make sense to me.
But somehow, it felt absolutely imperative that I see my father. Felt like he was the last thing standing in the way of whatever this life was going to be with Davit.
To even think of us building a life together was beyond foolish, and definitely not something I should hope for.
But I did.
Hoped that we could build something, wanted us to. And I would do everything I could, give it my best to try to see that happened.
“It doesn’t matter,” he finally said. “I’ll make the arrangements.”
He went to pull away, and I stopped him.
He looked surprised when I laid my hand on his side.
“Can you stay?”
Speaking those words made me feel vulnerable, weak, but the truth was, I did want him to stay.
He looked at me, then a soft smile lifted his face.
“Sure,” he said as he pulled me into another embrace.

“You seem nervous,” he said.
I glared at him.
“I am nervous,” I finally said.
“Why?” he asked.
He, of course, looked completely cool, relaxed, but then again, this didn’t impact him as much as it did me.
And why did it impact me?
I wasn’t entirely sure, but something about this felt momentous.
I told myself that I was being silly, over-the-top, letting my hormones get to me, but it was true.
