Peter’s face lit up with a relieved smile at her words. Eloise knew she needed to say more. “I can forgive you, but you need to try harder with Kevin. When you make an effort with him, it shows me that you trust my decisions. I’ll always be your little girl, but I also need you to support me in the choices I make.” She watched as her father’s eyes filled with tears, touched by her words. Eloise hoped that he would find it within himself to accept Kevin, not just for her sake, but for the sake of their future family together.
Peter was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face. “Eloise, I promise, I’ll do whatever it takes to regain your trust,” he vowed. Eloise got up and embraced him warmly, feeling a sense of relief and missing the bond they once shared.
