Greta stood off to the side, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Sister, I'm not trying to be harsh, but getting all worked up over a guy? You're way too caught up in this romance stuff."

Nathalie collapsed into Lincoln's arms, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, Dad..."

She felt guilty for worrying him.

Lincoln softly patted her back. "You're my daughter; we never need to apologize to each other. Honestly, I should be thanking you for giving me something to care about, for giving my life some meaning."
