“I promise to make you smile every single day right back,” I told her. “I promise that I’ll never stop trying. I’ll always love you. And that if you ever try to leave me, I’m going to lose my shit.”
She burst out laughing, then threw her arms around my shoulders and started peppering my face with kisses.
When she would’ve escalated them into something else, I wrapped my hand around her hair and pulled.
“Your dad literally just said that if he heard us doing anything in here, he’d shoot my dick off.” I paused. “And I really do believe him.”
She snickered. “He probably wasn’t joking.”
No. No, he wasn’t.

The only thing keeping me from smashing my alarm is the fact that it’s my cell phone.
-Saylor’s secret thoughts

The next morning nothing, and I do mean nothing, could ruin my mood.
I was smiling so big when I walked out, leaving Lock still sleeping in my childhood bed, that not even my dad’s glower could put a damper on it.
“Did he ask?” Mom asked as she sipped her coffee.
I held my hand out for her to look at the evidence of his proposal.
“He did,” I confirmed. “He also told me that Dad threatened to shoot his dick off last night.”
I looked at my father whose lips were twitching as he sat in the corner of the room reading his newspaper.
He was dressed for a workout and all of his tattoos were on display.
He had a new one that I hadn’t seen right above his elbow, making my eyes squint for a second.
“What’s that?” I asked, pointing.
Mom snorted. “Told you she would see it.”
“What is it?” I asked as I moved closer.
The closer I moved, the clearer it became.
“Is that…is that a cat’s butthole?” I asked, confused.
It was a tattoo of a cat’s backside, and there was a very prominent butthole on display, as well as a set of testicles.
“Yes,” Mom said as she set a cup of orange juice on the table next to where I was standing. “Your father got it because he lost a bet with Trance and Dixie.”
I burst out laughing. “It’s…lovely.”
I shook my head and took a seat. It didn’t matter how old the men were.
They still did stupid stuff.
Lock’s phone rang in the bedroom, and a couple of minutes later he came out looking grim.
I frowned, standing up slowly from the table.
