Carly quickly followed Fiona. "Mom, I didn't know Dad and Ms. Warwick were being intimate. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you see this."

Fiona felt numb as she turned to Carly. "It's alright, Carly. This isn't your fault. Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Anne has been living here for years-your dad was probably with her long before now."

Watching Fiona's reaction, a smile curled at Carly's lips.
