My Dad

This is the book after A Birthday to Remember. "....And how about Sloane?," I ask, pushing his shoulder. We all chuckle, knowing what I'm talking about. "We don't have a 'thing'?!," He says. "You are in love with her. I can see it in your eyes. Who can go wrong with a 'hey cowboy'. Tell her how you feel, Dad. You can't be afraid forever. And there's a quote. Don't marry the one you can live with, marry the one you can't live without. I'm not telling you to marry her but you at least need to be straight with her. She told me the other day that she's going to be leaving NCIS so you need to stop being a coward and give her a reason to stay," I say, looking straight into his eyes.
