Sasha looked up as he heard the doors swing open and saw his daughter walk through.
"Hey Parker. How are you feeling, since-everything." This time he didn't touch her.
"I'm fine." Parker knew that one of the Halliwells' deaths were inevitable. They were extremely powerful witches from an extremely powerful line. There is a reason Warren witches were known for their power and not their life spans.
Sasha nodded and said "Want to try your hand at the bars or beam or something? I'd love to spend some time with you."
"It's fine"Parker reiterated. "Go back to work. I'll change. I haven't been able to go for a run in a while."
Sasha sighed and said "Fine, but you can put your bags in the trailer in front of the gym. I'm looking for an apartment, but it may be another week before we can move in anywhere. In the meantime, you'll be staying with the Cruzs. I don't want to subject you to the horror of living in such close quarters with me."
Sasha smiled when he heard his daughter laugh. "That's great, dad. I really appreciate you doing this for me. But, if it's possible, can you talk to the Tanners about letting me stay with them? It's just, I met Lauren, and she was nice to me and-"
Sasha interrupted "That's fine. I'll talk to Steve and Lauren. I'd do anything for you, Parks. I love you." He couldn't help but hug her.
"Me too." Parker couldn't bring herself to say the words. The last time she said "i love you" to anyone, they died. Her mother died. And she didn't want her father to die. It was irrational, but Parker's throat was coated thick. She needed out.
"Dad, I got to go. I'm sorry." With that she ran out, Sasha, not wanting to push, didn't follow
