Harry and Morgan jumped up and down, their little faces alive with excitement “Me! Me! Me!” They both shouted

“Are you co eyes on Donovan

Donovan shook her head and though Jack knew she was still pissed, she gave the girl a smile that would make anyone feel special

“No darlin’ I’ll join y’all later I’ve got soet done first before I can head down to the beach” She eave Jack a fuck you look He knew this wasn’t over and that he was just buying some time, but for the moment he was fine with that

“Let’s go then,” Harry shouted, tugging on histo push her toward the door

“Are you sure?” Sabrina asked, her eyes on Donovan once more

“We’re sure,” Jack replied,his aviators from the kitchen counter He slipped the?”

It wasn’t a question he had to ask again The kids ran out the door yelling all the way down to the dock, and Sabrina followed him out

“How’s Brett this alloped across the dock and disappeared into the boathouse

“Tired,” Sabrina replied “But good He’ll be up for a fire tonight, but right now he’s resting Nine is a late night for hiuys are here though He’s been so closed off fro how bad it is It’s like if no one really knows, then it’s not real You guys give hi positive is great ”

Everything about the situation was all wrong, but life wasn’t always about being right He thought of his brother, Tucker, and what he’d endured Life wasn’t fair and it sure as hell had no rhyme or reason

Harry and Morgan ran up and down the beach like a couple of crazies, while he and Sabrina worked to get the boat set up for tubing He’d just filled the tank with gas when Sabrina sat on the edge and lifted an eyebrow

“So, you wanna tellon with you and Donovan?”

“Nope” He wasn’t in the et into it with anyone
