Fury rippled through her frame, bright baby blues narrowing at her ex-lover. "See, that's the problem with you, Sythe." She spat. "It may just seem like a lousy job and shitty school to you, but it's our lives!" It was their comfort. Their safe place, which he was ripping from their grasp. Twisting, she shoots daggers at his bodyguard who'd backed away. "You can stay here while we get him and gather our things." If it was up to her, she'd leave Sythe waiting outside as well, but it was a necessary evil that he join; especially since he was uprooting everything.
"Don't overwhelm him." Instantly, her glare is back on the man who'd once been her world. The sight of him was one that left her aching, but Daphne ignored the discomfort, opting to focus on the current tragedy at hand instead. "Come on… You can introduce yourself while I pack our things." Spinning away without another word, she entered the trailer, leaving the door ajar.
Her stubbornness was one of the many reasons why he had once fallen in love with her but now it was an obstacle. “ See, that’s the problem with you, Daphne. It may seem like you have a choice but you do not.” They wouldn’t be alive enough to continue living if his nemesis found them. A nod was enough for his guards to understand they had to wait, he followed her without a word. He was silent when he followed her, for she decided to be cooperative for once and he did not intend on spoiling that with empty words.
All his life he had been stoic, unshaken by the cruelty of others, undisturbed by the cruelty of his own family. Yet, all it took was a gaze that looked much like his own to stare at him, wondering, curious and Sythe froze for a moment. There was some sort of protectiveness in the child, for probably he had heard the yelling of his mother. “ I am not here to hurt you.” His voice seemed weak to his ears as he approached the child, his son. “ I am.. I am your father.” And yet, it did not seem like his son was moved by that. “ I am here to take you and your mother, we were finally given a chance to be together.”
