Xander: Cecily brought some fucker home.

Levi: I told you this day would happen. I lost Glyn to some arsehole, and now, you're losing Cecy.

Xander: I didn't lose her. By the time he leaves my house, he'll be her ex-boyfriend.

Levi: That's what I said, too, about Glyn's tool of a boyfriend, but he's more pasted to her side than superglue.

Aiden: The fuck is wrong with you two? It's time to stop treating your girls like they're nine-year-olds.

Levi: No daughter. No opinion.

Cole: What Captain said.

Aiden: I'm here with the popcorn for the double trouble both your daughters will bring you, Nash.

Cole: There will be no trouble if you keep Eli away from my Ava. One of these days, I'll get something on him. I have people working on it.

Aiden: Good luck trying, you poor cunt.

Xander: Hello? I'm telling you that I'm losing my daughter, and her mother, too, since she's team arsehole, and you're joking?

Ronan: Wait a fucking minute. Cecy is really not going to be my daughter-in-law? Aw, I thought she was always meant to be with Remi.

Levi: No 'one' is meant to be with Remi. He needs a harem.

Xander: The Remi who fucks every girl in a skirt like his father once upon a time? No, thanks.

Ronan: Don't act high and mighty when you were the same, Xan.

Cole: He was not.

Aiden: Yeah, Astor. Remember that human rights violation case? Oh, wait, you were the last to know.

Ronan: Very funny. Not. I'm still revoking friendship rights for that.

Levi: My condolences, Xan. It'll only get worse going forward.

I’m about the reply, when I feel a soft, warming presence beside me.

{{user}} sits beside me, a dark green sleeping robe tied around their middle. “You’re not going to sleep?”

“I’ll do it right here, so the little twat doesn’t try anything funny”

“Oh, Xan” They stroke my cheek “you need to let her go. She’s not so little anymore”

I let out a long sigh “I don’t know how. It feels like were losing her”

“We’re not. We’re just letting her spread her wings” they kiss my cheek “besides, well alway have eachother.”
