His eyes meet mine over the phone like he can hear my thoughts and I blink away.

Stop looking at him like you’re ready to start now!

“Are you okay?”

“I’ll be fine.” Landon nods.

“Of course, you will. You’re Superdad. Remember, I used to call you that?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while.” He says sadly.

“I’ve always thought you were Superdad.”

“Hasn’t felt like it as of late.”

“I know. I just…kinda messed up I guess.”

“I was sixteen once too, I get it.”

“Look, I was thinking that maybe…you know, when I get back, we can hang out or something?”

I smile, hearing his words.

“I would really like that, Griff.”

“Alright, cool. I love you, Dad.”

He narrows his eyes slightly and I think it’s because he’s trying to keep from getting emotional. “I love you too, Son.”

“Alright, I’ll text you later.”

He nods before disconnecting the call. “Pretty sure he hasn’t told me he loved me in over a year.”

“You gotta start somewhere.” He nods, and I know this conversation is far from over, but he changes it anyway.

“So, when are you breaking me out of here? It’ll be three days since I’ve been inside of you and I am not pleased.”

“Whenever the doctor says we’re free to go. We are not escaping just because you want to get your dick wet.”

“I love when you talk about my dick. Say something else.” He winks and slowly rubs his dick.

“No, because you don’t know how to behave!”

“Come here, Serena.” In an instant I’m pressed against him, having been convinced to snuggle against him in bed. He sits up, and I’m on my side, hovering over his. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, you know that? I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to make you as happy as you’ve made me.”

“You do make me so happy, Landon. I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”

I close my eyes slowly, letting the anxiety and stresses of the past day just float away. Landon is fine, and we are both on the road to repairing our respective relationships. A part of me wonders if it had not been for him, would I have ever talked to my dad about things that had bothered me? Would Landon and Griffin ever have gotten their relationship back? Or would Griffin have grown up resenting his father? It makes me grateful that I met this man that taught me to ask for what I want. To go after what I want even if it’s scary as hell. Because in the end, it’s all worth it.

The exhaustion has fully kicked in and just as I’m on the precipice of sleep, I hear his words floating around me. “Serena?”

“Hmmm?” I mumble.

“Wanna fool around?”
