Earl sat in the small chair drinking away in booze. She clenched her nose smelling the alcohol on his breath, her father still looked the same even after everything he had done. He was in perfect health as if he wasn't sick.
"Why did you write to be father, you get no sympathy from me"
Earl wiped his lip with his sleeve as he looked at her with such sadness in his eyes "If I told you why I did it I won't live to see another day. I may not be your father but your protection is everything."
Nicole could only look at him with such anger as she was about to leave only for Earl to reach for her hand begging her not to leave. Her eyes began to soften as she straightened herself to the chair, though she was angry she couldn't leave him in such a state it wasn't right.
