“Our daughter is fifteen now.” He shuddered. Trey Scott actually shuddered. “She was always a handful, even as a child, often one step away from open rebellion, but now she’s downright...difficult.”
Hunter remembered his own sisters at that age. Both had been...difficult, too. “I’m sure it’s just a phase.”
“A phase?” With a visible effort, Trey unclenched his jaw. “A man can certainly hope so.”
Hunter smiled at his friend’s obvious discomfort. Talk of Trey’s daughter brought his mind back to Sarah. Would she hit a phase, too? Would Hunter be ready for that eventuality? Would they navigate Sarah’s teenage years with ease, or awkwardness, or a combination of both?
Something remarkable and completely unexpected moved through him as he pondered the questions running through his mind. Anticipation. Followed immediately by dread.
Hunter’s heart nearly split open at the thought of parenting a female. What did he know about raising a girl? What did he know about parenting at all? His gut spun into a ball of sickening doom. He checked the clock above the door, noted the time and slowly rose to his feet.
He had some serious thinking to do before he made the trek to Charity House. “I should go.”
Trey followed him out of the building. “How long are you in town?”
As long as it takes to win over my daughter. “I haven’t decided.”
“Make it a point to stop back by. Coffee’s always on.”
“I’ll do my best.” He turned to leave.
Trey stopped him. “Hunter. God has given you a well-deserved second chance in life.” Trey clapped him on the back and smiled. “Pray for guidance in the coming days and the Lord will direct your path.”
Translation: keep his head on straight, his eyes on God and his priorities properly aligned.
With that in mind, he left for Charity House.
