My father made his decision—and the answer is no.

Griffin told him how our relationship started, and it sent my father into a blind rage. But in my heart, I know my father was never going to accept him, even when he promised he would try. This was how it would end all along.

I choose Griffin anyway, but he rejects my decision. "I know how much your family means to you, baby. It's over." It's the single most painful thing I've ever heard him say. I can't imagine my life without him.

If I don't convince my father to change his mind, I'll lose Griffin forever. So I return to my childhood home and face my father—and demand the answer I want.
