“You haven’t seen your mom in a really long time, and I know every boy needs a mom.”

“You were good, Dad.You were good enough.”I jumped up, and I squeezed his arm.“I didn’t need anyone but you and my brothers.”

“You’re just saying that, Sam.I know I fucked up.Not one of you ever brought a woman home, except for Elise, and well, she’s just his best friend.”

“Yeah.”I didn’t want to bring up Stefano and Elise or his issues either.I had a feeling that would be blowing up sooner rather than later.

“So you’ll tell Stefano?”he said eagerly.

And I could feel my heart sinking.My dad looked excited.After all these years, he was excited to see my mom again.I didn’t know why.I didn’t understand why he didn’t hate her.“I’ll tell Stefano.”

My phone started beeping then, and I saw that Hamilton was calling me.Fuck.“Hey, Dad, I’ve got to take this, okay?”

“Okay.You want another beer?”

“I didn’t have one, Dad.”

“Oh yeah.”He nodded and shrugged, and I could see the tenseness in his shoulders.“I guess I’ll have another one for you instead.”
