You can't just abandon him here."Tessa paused before the door and turned around. She could clearly see the worry in his eyes.

    "Dad—""Seat down, child." Her father said with a warm smile, cutting her off.Tessa released a breath as her shoulders dropped slightly. The urgency that had carried her all the way to the house was still burning inside her, but she obeyed and lowered herself into the chair opposite him.She had barged into the study without bothering with formalities.
