The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Rita tried to console herself this way, but her tears just would not stop. Just the thought of Sherman looking at her with such indifference, as if she were something dirty, pained her deeply.

She never expected anything more than friendship with Sherman, but she never imagined that her father's actions would make any possibility between them impossible. Even their friendship was forcibly stripped away, leaving Rita feeling bitter.

She could partly understand her father's intentions. The situation with the family business was dire, or he would not have impulsively threatened the Parr family with the videotape. Nonetheless, his actions were incredibly foolish. The entire Russell family could cease to exist if Sherman were to truly get angry.

At that moment, Rita was unaware that Vince did all that for the sake of his unborn son. She still naively believed that her father's actions were partly out of love for her and concern for her future.
