I wasn't expecting an apology. Not from him. I'd been putting off seeing him for days because I felt betrayed by him. Right after I thought we were becoming closer to each other and forming a bond as father and daughter, he betrayed me. He knew that I wanted to find a cure to turn vampires back into humans and he used that desire against me. I had no idea how to even begin forgiving him for that, and yet, I found myself responding with a nod and saying, "I understand why you did it."
"I was doing what I thought I needed to do to get this idea of a cure out of your system. You have to accept, Sofia, that there is no cure."
I shook my head, refusing to accept what he was saying as truth. "No. There is a cure. I'm going to find it."
I saw how his face turned into a bitter, grim expression. "Stubborn," he muttered. "Just like your mother."
