don’t say .
    “And how’s work going?” Dad asks.
    I swear he only comes to these dinners so he can check up on his investment of my law school tuition.
    “It’s great, Dad. Mr. Holt and I are working on a really big case that’s going to trial soon. I get to handle a lot of the trial, which I’m really looking forward to, even though I’m nervous.”
    “Will it make you partner?” Dad asks.
    “It could definitely play a big role in it,” I tell him.
    “Good. I can’t get over your luck. Engaged to the founding partner’s son. And now handling a trial with your bigshot future father-in-law.” He nods proudly as he eats the enchilada. “This is spicy.”
    “I’m sorry.”
    My parents don’t like spice and although I tend to use a lot of green Chile in my cooking, I tried to tone it down for them.
    “It’s her hard work, dear, not her luck,” says my mom. I smile at her gratefully.
    “Her hard work in the bedroom,” snickers Samantha, prompting me to glare at her.
    And then my mom adds, “All those late nights spent studying, and now working, instead of having family time.”
    I roll my eyes at one of my mom’s favorite complaints.
    The rest of the dinner progresses “well,” as in, better than usual. But by the time it’s over, I’m anxious for them to leave so I say, “I need to work on a brief for a while tonight before I turn in.”
    “Well, we will definitely get out of your hair,” my mom says, with a jealous pout.
    “I didn’t mean it like that…” I quickly say.
    “Let her work, Luanne,” my dad barks at her. “She has an important trial coming up, that she needs to do well on.”
    It’s like he’s talking about my senior year AP Algebra test. And my mom wants to have family pizza and game night instead of letting me study. Some things never change.
    “All I have to do tomorrow is get a pedicure,” Samantha chirps.
    Some things really never change.
    I walk them to the door, grateful that they’re leaving, although not looking forward to the pile of dirty dishes they left behind for me to wash.
     

     
    An hour later, I sink into a tub full of bubbles and try to relax. Visions of Jensen soon return to my mind— it’s as if they never fully leave. I imagine him walking through the front door in a military uniform, bringing the cake that my mother forgot. We feed it to each other while undressing each other. He smears it all over my body and then licks it off me.
    My hand sinks underneath the bubbles to pleasure myself the way that I wish Jensen would. If only I had chosen a guy like him instead of a guy like Brian, maybe my life would be a lot different right now.
     

Chapter 6

    It’s a Saturday morning, and everything is peacefully quite at McKinnon Memorial Cemetery. I sit down next to my dad’s grave and run my hands over the inscription.
    James Bradford:
    Devoted Father and Beloved Friend.
    Dylan seems convinced that I’ll be acquitted for the assault charge, but I’m not so sure. I haven’t always had the best luck in life, and nothing surprises me anymore. I woke up this morning wanting to come and visit with my dad, just in case I end up in the slammer for a while.
    “Hey Dad, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks since I was last here,” I tell him.
    I look around, still always afraid that someone will overhear me and think I’m a nut job for talking to my dead father, but I’m relieved to see that we’re alone. It’s too early for any funerals and there are no other gravesite visitors.
    “I guess my case is going all right, but Harlow thinks Mom should be supporting me more, while Ramsey’s still of the opinion that we need to help Mom because she’s really gone off the deep end lately.”
    I pause and take a breath, not even having to ask Dad his opinion on the matter, because even if he were here to share it with me, I’d already know what it was. My old man was loving to a fault. At one point I kind of lost respect for him because of it but with
