Golden Glade Get Lonely

Reek stopped and fell silent, as if a great weight of contemplation fell upon him. Looking to his daughter, Reek bore all in his expression; intense pain and unconditional love both flashed in Reek's eyes. After everything she had done, after all their family went though -- Reek still loved his daughter with all of his being. Abundant love was one thing, however, it was not enough to dispel the seeds of mistrust and unease that Laurel's violent outburst had sown in Reek's mind. He did his best to move past it, but there was only so much a man could process.

"Because you'll always be my daughter," he answered. No matter how hard she hurt him, Laurel could not change that. Nor could she stop Reek from trying. "I know after everything, you probably won't believe me, but you're still my world Lorry." He looked down, having offered his heart in full to his child before falling silent for a short spell. "I'm -- I'm trying to move past it." He was trying to forgive.
