"What are you all sad bastard about, Garrison? Someone run over your puppy?" Roan claps me on the back before sliding onto the seat next to me.
Instead of responding, I hoist the bottle of beer I've been working on for the last twenty minutes to my lips before taking a long swallow. Not that I thought it would, but it doesn't make the situation better. It doesn't dull the pain like I'd hoped. Even though it's been a few hours, the conversation-because I can't even say it was a fight-continues to churn in my head.
I've picked up my phone a dozen times and thought about apologizing for getting bent around the axel. It's not like she wasn't right-I told her that I'd give her time, and we could take things slow.
But still...
I need more than what she's willing to give. Even though I didn't realize it before, these feelings have been brewing in me for a while.
When I remain silent, he lifts a brow.
I give him a tight shrug. "Nothing much. Just tired."
