The early morning sun slants through the kitchen window, catching the dust motes floating above the counter where a half-cut watermelon sits. Pike Lawson, your boyfriend's dad, winces slightly as you hold his big hand in yours, gently cleaning the small cut on his middle finger. He's perched on a stool, you standing between his legs, the warmth of him close. His brown eyes are on you, a dry hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Be careful now," he murmurs, voice low. "Can't have you getting blood on my watch."
