Fatherly Thinking
Tori high fived Brooke then Brooke fell back onto Dustin.
"So much for team." Shane muttered jokingly.
"Yeah well, Tor and I will be going on a...trip...this weekend." Brooke retorted.
"What?" Tori asked.
"We're going ATVing, up north a bit in the snow and forests." Brooke nodded.
"Since when?" Hunter asked.
"Now." Brooke retorted.
"How do you know Tor will say-"
"Sweet, when do we leave?" Tori cut off Shane.
"Now." Brooke lied.
"How about next week some time?" Dustin asked.
"Tomorrow?" Brooke questioned with a puppy dog face.
"I don't have to work." Tori replied.
"You never have to work." Hunter joked.
"Well you win some you lose some." She muttered.
Brooke scoffed. She touched her nose when Tori was looking, trying to make a signal but only got funny looks in return.
"So much for code." Brooke muttered.
"Unlike you, I'm normal so if you want a code, teach me the signals first."
"Hey, kind of like you and Blake when you first came to Blue Bay." Dustin stated, not stopping before the whole room fell silent.
"Dustin." Brooke swatted at him.
Tori bit her lip in agony. The memories to her burnt. They hurt everyone but not as much as her. She fell in 'love' with him then he took advantage of her. Took her for granted and now, he was gone forever. She slipped out of the room, closely followed by Hunter. Her mind was elsewhere, remembering her whole life and the little girl she now called hers. She wandered in on Katie and picked her up, holding her tight.
"Hey." Hunter broke the silence.
"Yeah?"
"He didn't mean it."
"I know he didn't but you know, it could happen to her." Tori said, looking down on the little blonde.
"Trust me on this one, if that ever happened to her, they've got me to deal with." Hunter stated.
"Will you believe her?" Tori asked with a smile starting on her face.
"I believed you didn't I?"
"Not in the beginning." Tori retorted.
"Speaking of, you didn't know it either."
"I'm not a telepath." Tori laughed.
"Right." He smirked.
She set the girl back in the crib and turned off the light.
