I'm not really asking for acceptance, Dad. When have I ever? But you need to keep in mind, I'm not the baby anymore and though you might not think I know what I'm doing, I do, somewhat, everything is new and I have always loved him, even before...before everything happened. Just please be assured that he's not taking advantage of me, I'm smart enough and you two raised me well enough to know when that is happening and...the moment he does, I will end it.
Perhaps that's something you should address to him. I'm aware that's its not my business, but that night he was hurt, it was radiating off him and Dad I refuse to miss Daniel's wedding, we will be there.
