Seducing My Father's Best Friend
I proposed, not ready to back down; a lipless smile spread across my face.
He was momentarily lost for words, defeated; his back slumped on the couch, gazing at the night scenery. "You are quite stubborn..."
"You are stubborn too," I interjected cheekily, tilting my head as I stared at his face. Then I recalled a question I had been wanting to ask. I thought the reason he wasn't willing to give me a chance could be due to his failed marriage.
"Do you still... love... your... ex-wife?" I asked with caution, thinking I might be crossing a line. I didn't want to hurt his feelings... I still remembered how he reacted when I mentioned her. Still, I needed answers.
