This is Falling
“It’s still here, a sense of balled up energy stemming from my bicep and rolling all the way through my fist. I don’t know why I care so much and so fast, but I do.
When Rowe said she didn’t think I’d ever meet her parents, it was like an emotional car wreck went off in my chest. It was a nothing statement to her, but to me it had been so damned significant.
I’m just not that guy, the guy who keeps things in compartments and satisfies urges and doesn’t get them tangled with the rest of the shit ...going on in his heart and his head. I tried being that guy for a few months, and it sucked. I felt like an asshole. I was an asshole. My tour through the world of asshole-ness was brief—nope, not for me.
“Rowe coming?” Ty asks, holding his arm out for me to button the cuffs on his shirt. We always dress up for Sunday dinner with my parents. My mom always insisted on it when we were kids and at home, and it just sort of became the tradition—even if we’re dining out.
