Not knowing the truth, if I killed him, would I have regretted it?

But then again, I have done enough to fuel the demons within my mind.

"Dad, is everything alright?" Zaia asks.

"Yes, however, life is short... and so, with your blessing of course, Atticus... I want to ask Shelby to marry me," Hugh's voice comes. "I mean, I have had this conversation with you, Atticus, a while back, but I hope it still stands, even if her health is not at its best. I still want her to be my wife."

There are a few gasps.
