"Bella, angel, can you ever forgive me?"
Her father was crying. She'd never seen Charlie so much as tear up before. Then again, she'd rarely seen him over the last few years. It wasn't as if she really knew him.
But none of that mattered.
The hospital called him when Renee's phone rang unanswered for hours. Bella knew her mother was in Mexico with her latest boyfriend, but Charlie had no idea she'd been alone. Again.
"I thought she changed. I didn't know, baby. I didn't know."
She took his hand. "I know, Charlie. It's okay. Please take me home."
