All I Wanna Do Is You: A Road Trip Rom-Com
Page 29
“I gotta go. Baseball practice at the high school tonight. Leftovers are in the fridge for dinner.”
Dad scowled. “Can’t believe they pay you to coach that game. You don’t know shit about baseball. Couldn’t even keep your scholarship.”
“Those times are gone, Pops.” I moved into the bedroom and changed into a pair of loose shorts and my sneakers.
He mumbled to himself. “If your brother was still alive…he’d of made something out of his life.”
A familiar wave of shame washed over me. Yeah, Jeffy would’ve shown us all. If he were still alive, maybe I wouldn’t be stuck here in the middle of nowhere, trying to grow a business while playing nursemaid to my dad. I still held out hope that something good could come out of my brother’s death. I’d been working on a way to honor his memory. A few more jobs and I might finally have enough to break ground on the community baseball field I’d been planning since I got back to town.
“See ya later tonight.” I grabbed an apple from a bowl on the counter and charged toward the front door.
At least Cassie was in town. That was something to look forward to, even if she didn’t seem thrilled to see me. It was time to clear the air between us over things that had happened long ago. Looked like fate was on my side with this one. She was back.
