Dad's voice hits me before I even register he's standing there.
"Hey sweetie. It's me" he days
I just stare at him- shock, confusion, anger all tangled up in a knot I can't swallow.
"I know this is impossible to you and I'm gonna explain-" he started
I slap him so hard my palm stings. He actually flinches.
"You're right. I'm sorry. I deserve that. I do. I know I do. You have been through hell and that is my fault.And I'm sorry. I'm so..." He says
I walk away. He follows like he's tethered to me.
He reaches for my hand; I jerk it back like it burns.
"I'm so sorry Stella" he says, sitting beside me when I drop into the seat.
"I can promise you that I didn't have any other choice. I didn't. I don't expect you to understand that now. All I can do is tell you what happened and I'll answer your questions. Maybe you'll see it was the only way. I know you don't believe that and I know it's hard to hear. But I... It was my only choice. It was the only way to make sure that we were all safe and we were all together. It was the only way to be a family again." He says
Family. Right.
I rub my forehead and wait.
"I used the scuba gear on the Druthers. I had it all set up in advance timed to the second. It was touch and go getting off. I almost didn't make it." He says
Footsteps sound behind us- Rafe.
Dad keeps going. "Sweetie what I need you to understand more than anything is that I never imagined that you or Sarah would be there. I wanted to call you immediately to tell you that I was okay to explain it all. It broke my heart that I couldn't. But I had to make sure Rafe got away." He says
"Thank you Dad. At least one of us is grateful." Rafe says
"That's psychopathic. Both of you" I snap
"I promised Rafe that he wouldn't go to prison for helping me. I had to make good on that promise." Dad says
"Not that you care" Rafe scoffs.
"Did it look like I didn't care when I thought Dad was dead?" I shoot back
"It looked like all you cared about was running off with those assholes" Rafe says
"It looked like all you cared about was the money and getting the inheritance" I said
Dad jumps in before it goes further. "Yes you cared! You cared! That's the point! Anybody on that dock could see how much you cared sweetheart. And I know you're angry right now and rightfully so. The important thing is that it's all behind us now. It is. We're gonna live a new life all of us together." He said
