Episode 386: Promise to TrySebastian stopped mid-stride, glaring at the muscular older man standing half in front of the restaurant’s employee entrance. The man could flatten Sebastian in a heartbeat and he’d have to, to get to Ava. "This isn’t Ava’s shift," he informed Calvin Baird. "And she doesn’t want to see you or Sarette, leave her alone. Maybe if Sarette had come into the picture when Mary was sick, been there like a real mom, but it’s too late now.It wasn’t lost on Sebastian that he hadn’t been there either. "I’d like to think it’d never be too late," Calvin said. "I have to try." So did Sebastian. "I did a bad job of looking after her in the past. I won’t screw up again if I can help it. I won’t let you upset her. She’s not ready for new parents." "But she is ready for a new boyfriend," Ava’s dad said. "She’s ready to live with another man." "It’s not like that," Sebastian sputtered, though he hadn’t technically done anything to feel guilty for. "I’m being a friend. I’m not taking advantage of her." "Maybe you should." "Excuse me?" "Ava’s my daughter, but she won’t welcome me anywhere near her. I have to know she’s alright so I check on her, watch from a distance and I’ve noticed that the only time the gloom lifts in her eyes is when she’s looking at you."
