Rhett
My dad looked past me, gazing out at the vast expanse of farmland behind my house. When he looked at me again, he said.
"Explain in detail what happened. Plus, tell me the real reason why you're anxious about the whole thing, please don't give me bullshit about friendship. I'm old enough to differentiate between a lot of emotions."
I took a deep breath and nodded.
"First, Dad, don't be alarmed, but Eamon is a girl."
I waited for a few seconds, waiting for some reaction from my dad, but he just shrugged. "And?"
"You're not surprised?" I asked.
"It was obvious, Rhett," he said with a sigh. "The way three of you gravitated towards her, only a woman can do that to a man. Now tell me what happened."
I told him about the video, the logs and the way the Inquiry would tear Charis open if this escalates. I told him about her father, and from the tidbits of story I've gathered from Slater about her past, and how remaining at Ravenshore was her only redemption.
