Well, what a fucking mess that was.
Ben didn't even know what to say or where to start. If he were able to redo the conversation they'd had last night, there was a lot of that he wouldn't have said. Talking to Melody while he was that drunk had been a mistake. Sharing so many of his insecurities had been a mistake. He couldn't take them back now; they were just out in the open and she knew about all of them. He didn't like how much leverage that gave her for any future conversation. At the moment they were on the same side, more or less, but he wasn't naive enough to think that would always be the case. Melody had hurt him in the past. The stakes were higher now, and after the conversation last night she was better armed. The next time they had a fight, it was going to be explosive.
Poor Nora. She didn't deserve the pair of them for parents.
"Sorry I put you in that position," he said, a little stiff. "I shouldn't have had so much to drink."
