Ethans POV

June 2018

I pick her up in my Jeep with things to have a picnic at the lake.

-I'm here

Tate-putting on shoes

I watch the door open and her come out with wine.

"What the hell."

"Just drive before my alcoholic mother comes out."

I pull away speeding down.

"So where are we going?"

"To somewhere unknown."

She giggles while placing the wine in the back.

We hang out feet over the dock.

"Thank you for making this special." She says kissing me on the cheek.

"Anything for my princess."

She smiles. She leans over the dock to
See her reflection.

"What's wrong?"

"I haven't been called princess since my father left."

"You never told me about you dad." I said placing her hands inside of mine.

"It's hard. I don't usually say anything to anyone."

"When I was 7 my dad lost all contact with me and my family. It's like he fell off the face of the earth. Lots of things you do makes me think of my dad."

She starts crying.

"I'm here. I'll forever be here."

I pull her in and she stops crying.

"Thank you."

I grab her face and kiss her, I pull away as fast as I kissed kissed her.

"I'm sorry."

"No. Kiss me."

I place my hand on the back of her neck and pull her in. We kiss, what felt like hours was only second.
