Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Tatiana, who moments ago displayed the demeanor of a heroine, suddenly wilted upon knowing it was her father calling. She lowered her head.

"It's okay, Taty."

Sean embraced her tightly, gazing at her with resolute but affectionate eyes. "I'll be with you. I'll go home with you. If Mr. Taylor wants to scold you for this, I'll take the blame for you."

"H-How can you do that? Dad's very scary when he's angry," Tatiana mumbled, feeling nervous.

Sean chuckled softly. "I'll say... 'Dad, if you want to vent your anger, take it out on me. Don't ruin your relationship with Taty.'"

Tatiana's heart skipped a beat at his words. She felt a tingling sensation coursing through her body. Her fair face flushed, making her look so adorable that Sean couldn't take his eyes off her.
