"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."

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.'"
