Valette watched as her father moved to the stone. She had never seen him like this and she was rather surprised to see all these emotions on his face. The first words he spoke we unfamiliar to her. She had not kept up with the language of her father. She had no doubt that Arlette would ask about that later. She always saw her father as an emotionless statue in her life, but this was a different side of him. Was this the father Xan had seen at the time? She wondered how he could have seen.

Valette was surprised when her father's whispered turned to her. Valette perked up her ears at the apology. At first, she was in shock that she got an apology out of him. She never expected to get one. The tears gathered in her eyes but quickly blinked them away. She wanted to say that it was okay, but it was not okay what happened. She had missed a father in her life. "Apology accepted. Except for that last one," she spoke and then stepped forward towards him. "Don't apologize for being here. It is a good thing that you are here," she spoke.

Valette stood next to him and glanced at Arlette for a moment. She looked so much like Scarlett. But she was not like her grandmother. Arlette was not insecure as her mother was. "I like that you came to visit. It shows that you do care," she added. She noticed how old her father was up close. "Would... Would you be interested to stay here for a bit? You can meet my mate Greyback and get to know the pack I built," she offered to the male. She was pretty sure Arlette would be delighted. Plus, Kove could show her that he wanted to be in her life. Perhaps even be there when his grandchildren were born...
