14 Chapter 14: Quincy, Part 2

"Don't sell yourself short," he says. "Raising your nephew isn't a negative at all. If anything, it highlights that you're caring and generous and loyal. If a man can't see that, you're looking at the wrong man."

Our waiter reappears to take our order. I fumble my way through it as I quickly decide what I want, still taken aback at the turn of this conversation. But Daniel's right. Just because Chance and I are a package deal now, doesn't mean I'm not still the total package. Sometimes it takes someone else to point it out.

"Your family sounds really great," I say, fiddling with the condensation on my glass after the waiter leaves. "Sounds like you guys are really tight."

He has a strange look on his face. "For the most part, we are."

"What do you mean?"

"My brothers and sisters and I are really close and we're all close with our mama."

"But?"

"I don't talk to my dad."
