Red Flags...
Too loud.
Too clingy.
Too much make-up.
I could go on and on. The other guys in the Single Dad's Club would say I'm obsessed with finding them. But none of their kid's mothers call a maximum-security prison home either, so their opinions mean shit.
Caterina Santora has her own list of red flags...
She's too young.
She's my client's daughter.
She's my five-year old's camp counselor.
Even after repeating this manta to myself every morning on the way to Lily's summer camp, guess what happens the moment I see Cat? Yeah, that mantra turns into ride me, doggy style and revers cowgirl.
The fact that she doesn't remember me from six years before grates on me until I don't have it in me to leave her alone any longer. I have to have her. But our lives are opposites in every way. In no way compatible.
When we're together all the complications fade away and I have to keep reminding myself, even if I can have her- I can't keep her.
