Going Solo: Davis Gen 3.18

A lot changes in two years. The adjustment to not seeing the girls daily took some time. We did talk or text a lot and we'd use Skype as well. I worked a lot and dated here and there, but no one was ever that serious. Rebecca I met at work. She was a new hire and my boss wanted me to show her the ropes. After dating Raven, I'd tried not to mix business and pleasure, but Rebecca actually pursued the relationship.

We went out for a few months but I had to end it, I quickly learned she wanted more than the casual dating I had in mind. It caused a bit of a hiccup at work, and she ended up being transferred to a different office. When the girls came back for the summer I made sure we enjoyed our time together.

Hope had gotten into computer games and we'd play together a lot, Grace was still found with her head in a book. However the two of them got along well. I think they complimented each other nicely since Hope was still the more outgoing one. At the summer fair they talked me into a hot dog eating contest, who would have know Hope could eat so much so fast, and that I couldn't.

Boy they didn't let me live that one down for a while. Cora and I talked often. She did a good job keeping me informed about the girls and their activities. I even flew out for their first ballet recital. She was loving her job in the pediatric department of the hospital. We didn't talk much about her relationship with Tristan (I still called him Tracy when we talked just to annoy her) but I did know they lived together and were engaged. The girls liked him ok, and said he worked all the time and was hardly ever home. They didn't like his dad all that much, they'd only met him a few times but they said he was scary looking and wasn't very nice. To them, or Cora. Hearing that ticked me off, but when I asked Cora about it, she just brushed it off.

She did say they weren't around him often so I had nothing to worry about. When the girls went back in the fall, I went back to focusing on work more. Mom even talked me into having dinner with her and Sha some nights. Dad said Nick was doing good in college, he was studying telecommunications and apparently partying hard like I did. Of course I didn't tell Dad that part when Nick would call me. I also told him to make sure he was extra careful, not that I didn't love my girls, but he needed to avoid that oops that I made. At least at such a young age.

I was still enjoying my bachelor lifestyle and doing my best to avoid anything that resembled a relationship, until my buddy set me up. He'd asked me to go hang out, but when I got there I found out it was a double date of sorts. I'd been ambushed into a blind date with the friend of the girl he liked.

Blythe Wood was everything I needed to avoid, but there was something about her that drew me in.
