Results of being

Nigel smiles at his only daughter as she gets into the car after making sure Adam put his seat belt on.

"Hey baby girl." She closes the luxurious car door behind her and face him with a false smile.

"Hi," he turns around and puts his hand up for Adam to high five which of course the little boy does with a big grin.

"Hey big man!" Avery smiles listening to their conversation as she leans over a bit to use her left hand and turn the dial a bit to make the car a bit warmer since it's pretty chilly this morning.

She was surprised this Tuesday morning when her mother came into her room and told her that she didn't have to wake Adam up yet for the bus because their father was taking them to school.

She wants to be furious at her Dad and believe her she is but not furious enough to avoid him like most kids around her age would do.

It's just this is her father.

The guy that gives her the best analogies when it comes to making life choices. The guy that would murder a whole clan for her. It always made her smile when she was little when her mother would tell her 'if any guy did you wrong, you better not tell your father.'

Her mother would then chuckle and say right after, 'Nigel would be in jail.' It's the protected aura that came from her mother's words that would make her bright up and bite her lip to not smile too hard.

"Daddy!" Adam squeals trying to move away from their father's tickling fingers in the backseat. Nigel chuckles and pulls away as Adam pants softly, still making soft giggles.

"Daddy?" Nigel nods his head and Adam continues. "Why are you not at home anymore?"

Avery's breath hitches then she blinks and glimpses at her father for a second. He turns back around in his seat as his lips open and close, trying to find the words to explain to the small child why he's doesn't see him everyday.

"Uh-," Avery turns around cutting Nigel off.

"Adam, play with my phone," Adam's matching big brown eyes widen with excitement as his big sister taps something on her phone, unlocking it.

She turns around in her seat and hands it to him as he gratefully takes it from her grasp. She turns back around as she hears Temple Run's music playing behind her seat.

"Thank you," her father whispers to her under his breath and she shrugs.

"It's nothing, he doesn't need to know what's going on," she murmurs back looking straight ahead. Nigel sighs and takes the car out of park and backs out of his old driveway.
