| drink with him, of course, but | start to notice that when I��m on my second drink Daniel��s on his fourth. And on my third, hisseventh. Daniel's bigger than me, of course �� he can handle more than | can �� but still, | start to see his eyes go half-shut as thenight passes and his words slur together. | don��t chide him, realizing that this is what he wants, perhaps needs, after our stressfulevening.
Daniel is...sensitive, | know. And while this is my first time at this ��maybe my dad will get whacked for power�� rodeo, it��ssomething he��s dealt with all his life. And perhaps the strain on him...1 guess it makes sense, in a way. That he��s just so sick of itthat all he wants to do is wipe it from his mind.
And there is something about it that | find tempting �� the idea that | could wipe it all out, too, for the next few hours, and facenone of it. But there��s something else in me that wants to stay sharp, that isn��t finished with the night.

I send a little star emoji back, purposefully vague, and then slide the phone back onto the bar.
��Seriously, Fay,�� Daniel says, and | look up to realize that he��s been watching me. ��Seriously, fuck Kent. He��s ruining our lives.Why do you even care if he knows where we are? Why do you care about him at all?��
��Daniel,�� | reply, frowning at him a bit. ��He's your dad.��
��He��s a dick,�� Daniel insists, and | laugh, shaking my head. ��What,�� Daniel continues, leaning into me a bit, ��are you going todeny it?��
��No,�� | say, crossing my arms and studying him. ��But... | admit that | am less willing to talk shit on your dad than | used to be.��
