RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE
My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes.
I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck.
I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds.
Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I.
•~•~•~•~•~•~••~~•
Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in.
The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado.
The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back.
She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans.
Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard,
but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about.
