CHAPTER 83

BLAIR POV

We had a rough night. Nathan had been up and down, cranky as hell due to the pains from his tooth, and I had barely slept for more than an hour straight. By six-fifty, we were up and dressed, Nathan in his car seat, ready to go.

It was too early for this, but I couldn't make myself wait another second to go see Ronnell and find out where his head was.

He and I had done a lot. Said even more. But on this topic, our communication had really failed.

We were both coming from places of hurt and insecurity. I could be the brave one, though. I could put myself out there and tell him what I really wanted.

If he didn't want the same, at least I would know. I could then figure out what my next step was, but I just couldn't skip this one.

This step was the most important.

“Okay, my love. Let's go see daddy.”

I put the car seat down to sling my diaper bag over my shoulder and open the door. It was a good thing too. Otherwise, I would have dropped him.

But Ronnell was here.
