She was complete, her life feeling whole. She had everything she could ask for. Her job, her happiness, her family, her husband, but all it took was one man. One man for her to lose morals, head space, and peace of mind. His words were captivating...

Raising his hat up to run his hand over his freshly cut hair, Cepheus blew out a breath, his eyes doing a slow blink before popping back open. The sound of Crystal's screams followed by loud giggling filled his ears, causing a warm feeling to come over him.
He was usually tense a lot, always on edge, but as soon as he got in the presence of his daughter, it was like nothing else mattered except for her. The weight on his shoulders would always be there, but they felt a lot less heavy whenever she was around. He didn't ever exaggerate when he said that she was his world because she was, the only person who he felt could understand him in ways since she came directly from him.
"I'm going to be back in one second baby, just let me go talk to your daddy, okay?" Hearing Renae's voice, Cepheus tightened his hold on the blunt he held between his fingers. Bringing it up to his lips, he took a long pull as his eyes stayed on the door of the small room he sat in. It wasn't really an office space, but it was somewhere in his house where he could isolate himself and clear his head when he needed to. And since being back from his little trip, he had found himself spending a lot more time in there than what he usually did.
Hearing two light knocks as her shadow appeared, he yelled for her to 'come in,' the door opening up shortly after. Giving her a blank stare, Cepheus gestured his head for her to sit down across from him, clueless as to why she wanted to speak to him.
"Make it quick." He mumbled, blowing the smoke from in his mouth off to the side. He watched her with low eyes, seeing the way she fiddled with her hands as her leg bounced lightly.
"I just want to ask you something..." She spoke softly, her voice coming out a little shaky. Leaning back in his seat with his blunt still in hand, Cepheus said nothing, placing the herbal substance back between his lips as he gestured his hand for her to continue. Glancing up towards him, he could see nothing but hurt in her eyes, hurt with a small blaze of anger in the back of them.
"Now I know our relationship isn't the most ideal and I do allow you to do whatever you please...but there's just certain boundaries that you- that you don't cross. I've been lenient when it came to sleeping with other females because, I wouldn't try to force you to just be tied down to one person because I know you like your freedom. But the problem lies when-."
"You said a question, and you giving me a lecture..." He trailed off, his eyes on her as he took another pull from his blunt. Letting out a shaky breath, Renae slowly nodded her head as she wiped her sweaty hands down her thighs.
"Right, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know is there- is there another woman who is more than just- more than just sex?" Quickly diverting her eyes to the ground, she slowly rose them back up as she blinked rapidly. Her hand going up to clutch her chest after the words left her mouth, causing Cepheus to raise an eyebrow in amusement at her dramatics.
