I wasn’t expecting Willow to be anything more than a way to pass the time. I planned to keep her close enough to enjoy and far enough away to protect my heart. I wasn’t prepared to get hurt again. My son had to be my top priority. But Willow isn’t anything like my ex-wife, and being a dirty daddy suddenly wasn’t enough.

They’re too different for it to be more than one night. Aren’t they?
