Silver Creek keep watch; take heart

dad's dead. the words stung Casmir almost as much as Connie's tone did, but he was immediately back on guard. how was any of that Rowan's fault. it seemed like Dee had been making some trouble -- she was pretty pure, and with that came inexperience. okay, so Dee had fucked up. he continued to listen to Constantine's explanation, still not understanding what the hell any of this had to do with Rowan, and now more convinced than ever that she was a scapegoat for all that had gone on.

"hey," he shot back. "last time i saw you all, everything was hunky dory. the next time i see you, we're fighting. cut me some slack. you were gone for literal ages." he gave a sharp breath. "Dee screwed up. she did. but did anyone ask her why she did that? not that there's an excuse, but .. she always has her own reasons for doing stuff like that, you know," he muttered. "can we start over, Connie? please? i'm sorry. i'm so ... fucking pissed at dad, you know? that he would do this and then ... i dunno. it feels like Rowan is getting punished for it. like she makes a mistake and pays for it not only because she got knocked up but because she gets kicked out of her home. and that's not cool. like ... it's not her fault. none of this is her fault."
