“You alright, mate?” he says from beside me. I shake my head.
“Nope. I fucked up again.” I lean back against the bench and look at Liam. He had been a friend for years and had gone through some tough times of his own when he had been on the road with a band, but it was Knox that helped him through it. His son made him be a better man. Fuck, what I wouldn’t do to have a couple of kids by now.
“What happened? And don’t bullshit me, tell me everything.” So I do, I tell him every word that had been spoken between Addy and me.
Instead of yelling at me for fucking up again, Liam looked me in the eye and I knew that what he said next would resonate with me, would change things.
“Every woman was sent here to fucking try us, man. But every relationship deserves a second chance. You and Addy haven’t had a first, so my plan would be to get that first and fucking keep it. Don’t let ten years go by like I did with Bambi.”
Fucker knows what to say. He is a wise old wanker now that he has his little family.
I need to get Addison Cole, and I intend to keep her.
