Nash sat silently in the car. Shanae looked at him. "She's down there, isn't she?."

Nash stared ahead at the bridge and the water. He then nodded slowly. "She prolly floated down stream by now...

"She will be found...

"Yeah, well, I'll be long gone...

"Dad... this is tearing you up.. I feel it... talk to me..

"I didn't want to kill her..." he sighed heavily. "she just wasn't going to stop...

"She was in love with you and she wanted you to be the one that she could share that gift with... she didn't want to be sleeping with random men and having bad things happen to her, she wanted to feel safe...with you..."

"After yo mama.. the family really took a step back from me... they were different.. because she was Lena's daughter... then when Charisma came along and I fell in love with her...

"Which you still very much are...

He rolled his eyes at her. "Well, the family hated me again... and then Zara... another Chavez, who I couldn't resist in the beginning..

"She had a lock on you and you know that... but she really did love you...

"I couldn't have them look at me with disgust again so I... I just wanted her to stop..." he shook his head. "But she wouldn't Shanae.. she wouldn't and then I just snapped.. before I realised what I was doing it was too late... I see her face looking at me all the time... I can't sleep.. and the fact that she looks so much like charisma fucks with me every time.."

Shanae rested her hand on her father's leg

Shanae rested her hand on her father's leg. "Dad, we know how tough it has been for you from the very beginning we know how badly mom treated you.... And that we had a very different upbringing to the rest of our cousins because she made it hard for you to bond with us, she just wanted you all to herself. We were just there... we didn't mean anything to her at all.." she said. "But you are different and we do love you.. and we miss you... you know yourself that you're not gonna be able to just sweep this under the rug... You need to tell somebody what you did. Even if it's uncle Jenson... or Charisma... Dad, I am begging you please don't walk away from this because it is going to get bad for you..."

Nash just looked at her and stayed quiet.

"Keegan... Keegan, I'm home....
Charisma yelled around the house. Keegan appeared with his towel wrapped around his waist.

"I'm up here...

She bit her lip. "are you taking a shower for me?." She asked him.
