IV: Howard Foster
In all honesty, she'd never cared for him, and he never cared for her. If mother went off on some escapade or other, and Peri was bored and left behind, she'd bother Howard until he gave her enough money to buy a few things, or whatever else she wanted.
In return, she never told her mother of the affair he'd had with a coworker of his.
For the longest time, she'd hated him for leaving her on his boat, an event that nearly caused her to drown as well (and, if he hated her as she hated him, why didn't he just let her up and leave?)
But, seeing as it got her as far away from them all as possible, traveling to see things she'd never even dreamed of, she thought that maybe, Howard's decision to leave her there wasn't too bad after all.
