When my daughter, Ruth Jensen, says for the tenth time that she wants a different mother, I don't get angry. I just calmly ask her who she wants instead. She blurts, "Vivian." She means Vivian Green, her tutor… and also the woman my husband has never been able to forget. At Ruth's birthday party that day, she even openly thanks Vivian, saying Vivian takes care of her like a mother. Looking at Ruth's young, innocent face, I finally understand that she doesn't like me. So, I stop caring for her and my husband the way I used to. Instead, I turn around and join a classified national project. Rather than wasting time on people who aren't worth it, I'd be better off serving my country!

She's beautiful, of course and she has ideas of traveling, studying, becoming a doctor to help the pack she professes to love. But, she doesn't seem to know or accept her place. She openly disagrees with him, ignores his orders and worse, rather than desire him like the other girls, she seems to pity him. She's everywhere. A distraction that he can't afford to have. A weakness that can be used against him. But he can't seem to stay away.
