“Your wife is a cock block.”
He laughs and pats me on the back. “Jade loves you both. She’s not in an easy position either, you know.”
“Yeah, but—”
“But nothing. That’s it. She loves you both. Oh, and so does your godson, who is coming home and going straight to the Cape. You better be there.”
“I told her I’d go.”
“When?”
“A few minutes ago.”
“Do I need to get Luke’s bedding changed before he comes home?”
“No, but the carpet in his room may be stained.”
“Wall bang?”
“Yeah.”
“Just now?”
“No, man, the first time. Today, I held her so she could sleep.”
“Aw … You’re such a sweetheart.” Ryan throws his arm around my shoulders, and we walk to the house.
“Fuck you.”
“Nah, my wife may block your cock, but she begs for mine. Now let’s go get that trailer out of your damn driveway.”

When Logan gets home, I’m ready to go.
He jumps in the SUV. “Hey Dad, you know Luke is going to be at the Cape?”
“Yeah. You wanna go?”
“We can cut Jersey short?”
“Yeah, we can.”
He sleeps the entire ride there. When we pull onto the lake road, I see a BMW backing out of the driveway. I look over to see if Logan is still asleep, and he looks at me.
“Fuck that. I don’t wanna be here.”
“Logan. Two days, that’s it.”
“I’m eighteen.”
“She’s your mother forever. She and I are separated. She can do whatever she wants.”
“Sure.”
I pass the house and keep driving.
“What are you doing?”
