Tamara:huh
Lucy:Tam he cares about you
Tamara:didn't feel that way when I couldn't get ahold of him when i needed him you moved and he was the only person left here in LA that felt like a parent to me then he stopped talking to me stopped answering calls wouldn't even answer the door of his house
Lucy:so talk to him let him have a chance to make it right instead of punishing him
Tamara:ill think about it ok
Lucy:alright bye Tam
That night when Tim gets a knock at the door he is shocked to see Tam standing there
Tim:hey
Tamara:hi
Tim:come in please
Tamara:so now that Lucy's back you have time for me
Tim:Tam it was never about you i cared about you i still do you have always been like a daughter to me
Tamara:was i like a daughter to you when you stopped being there for me when you stopped answering your phone stopped answering your door you were so focused on how you felt you never for one second stopped to consider how anyone around you felt
Tim:i know and im sorry for that i went through a really hard time where i completely shut everyone out i even stopped talking to Angela until she came after me and smacked me straight literally but thats no excuse i should of been there for you especially with Lucy gone
Tamara:you were like a parent to me and you disappeared she has tears falling from her eyes Tim can see how badly he has hurt her
Tim:im so sorry Tamara i never meant to hurt you so badly i wish i could go back and do everything differently after everything happened i self destructed for a few weeks but then i started therapy and it helped me alot
Tamara:you went to therapy
Tim:i did i wanted to be better for myself and for those in my life
Tamara:i don't want to be angry anymore i don't want to hate you
Tim:then tell me how we start fixing that because i don't want you to be angry anymore either i don't want you to hate me
Tamara:we can start by talking again
Tim:i can do that
Tam:Lucy tells me you set up a beautiful room for Maddie
She sees the smile that goes on his face at the mention of his daughter
Tam:whats that
