ADRIANA'S POV
He stared at me, guilt heavy in his expression and I couldn't bear it anymore so I looked away, feeling tears gather in my eyes.
My heart was thundering in my chest. I couldn't believe it. This was …my father. The thought hurt me as much as it thrilled me and be damned if I wasn't ready to burst into tears at the realization.
I stepped aside after what felt like a whole minute and he got inside without a single word and I shut the door behind him, preparing myself for a conversation that I didn't think I was ready to have.
"Sit" I muttered, gesturing to the chair by the table.
He looked at it and nodded, walking over to it before lowering himself down on it. "I'm sorry, I couldn't get there on time. I found Hale…"
He didn't get to finish that statement because I cut him off. "Is he okay?"
