What have I done? I took the child that was not mine, I hit my wife, and most of all I took the child to England! And now she wants to do Ballet? This just isn't right. I even told her, that her mother left me and her. I am so horrible. Once she does ballet, theres chance the truth will come out. What if she wants to sing? Oh Christine, I'm so sorry, I should have never started drinking. And now everytime I get mad I take it out on Sophie. Ugh, I'm such a horrible person! Well I know what I can do now, I can treat Sophie right. She deserves better. Oh Christine, what have I done. What time is it? 2:15! I have to take Sophie to ballet!

"Sophie!" I announced. She came rushing out in her ballet clothes I bought her on the way home.

"Yes, Father?" she asked.

"Are you ready for Ballet?'

"Yes. I am very excited!" she exclaimed.

"Alright then, go get in the carriage."

"Ok"

As she walked out the door, I saw the bruise on her shoulder showing where I had lost my temper. I felt horrible. Oh Christine, please forgive me!
