“When did you and
Mason start dating?”
Katelyn pulls back
a little and looks at me. Her head moves from side to side. She pulls her lip in
between her teeth. I reach out and pull it out with my thumb and place a kiss
where she was biting it.
“You don’t have to
answer.”
“It’s not that. Do
you really want to know?”
I take this
opportunity to pull her into my arms. “He’s a part of your life and he’s part
of the girls’ life. I’ll never ask you not to talk about him when I’m around.
I’ll never ask you to stop loving him. If he was here, I’d hate him.” I shake
my head because that’s not true. “No, I probably wouldn’t know you if he was
here and for that I’m both thankful and remorseful because his girls are the
best, most beautiful that I’ve ever encountered and I want to do right by not
only them, but him too.”
Tears begin to roll
down her face. I wipe them away before she has a chance to. She stares at me
with wet eyes that are breaking my heart. I didn’t mean to make her cry, but
it’s the only way I can get across with how I feel.
“We started dating
the summer after freshman year. He was so popular and cute. My mother said he
only wanted me for my swimming pool, but that wasn’t the case. We all grew up
that summer.”
“Liam told me a lot
about him. Sometimes I feel like I know him, especially when I’m with you and
the girls.”
Katelyn smiles and
curls up in my arms. “Everyone loved him. He was the high school football star
who returned to coach the team. He was supposed to go to school with Liam, but
changed his mind and gave up a scholarship to the University of Texas to go to
the state school with me. I wonder now, had he went with Liam, if things would
be different.”
