I honestly don't even know where I stand in my quarter-life bisexual crisis.
Wait if I'm bisexual, am I sinning Shannon?
"Chris, wait up. I gotta get your saddle and brush," Chris' adaptive horse therapy trainer says to him while I'm distracted by my phone.
"Dad, I get to ride Lucky today. He has a scar on his leg from surgery like I do." Chris walks over to a stall and uses his crutches to stabilize himself against the barn door.
"Hmm. That's so cool, Chris." I follow my son to the stables.
A minute later, my phone vibrates in my pants pocket.
I turned the ringer off since I'm with Chris on my off day.
Who could need me on Saturday?
I watch the trainer show Chris how to feed the horse while I take my phone out and see who is trying to contact me.
Buck:Hey, do you have time to talk? I want to apologize in person and talk about a few other things like that art summer camp. I also just finished with my apology meeting with Cap. I know it's your off day too.
Oh, I don't know if I'm ready to face Buck again. I saw him last weekend at Cap's birthday and it was sorta awkward silence between us. I see him at work every day but I'm out on calls and he does desk work. And I can now, understand why he's angry at Cap and hit me with his crutch on the first day back. But he's not the Buck I loved before the accident anymore.
He's jealous Buck.
He's a guy who wants attention.
He's a guy who doesn't understand my panic attacks.
And he's a single dad who I can't date because of work HR, my late-wife Shannon who I was married to, and because I'm still figuring out all this bisexual coming out stuff.
