Prompt #313 (Quote) "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on."
Hiram sighed deeply as he looked at his daughter in the chair opposite him. "I know you don't want to listen to me right now."
"You are quite right." Veronica spoke in a seething tone. She glared into her father's eyes.
"I know that I have messed up with you that I may never earn your forgiveness or trust again." Hiram replied.
Veronica remained firmly silent.
"But I know you are in pain due to you not being to reach Betty right now." Holding up his hand. "Don't yell or scream at me." He spoke before his daughter could speak. "You are going to free Betty Cooper from her mother Veronica. I promise that you will. Not through sheer will or going through any battle." He smiled softly. "Your love for Betty will win out against Alice's hatred."
Tears sparkled in her eyes as Veronica looked at her father.
"What your father is trying to say Ronnie is; when you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on." Hermione spoke as she walked into the room. She sat down in the chair next to her daughter. "Betty has learned this lesson as early as baby hood … maybe even in the womb." She looked into her daughter's eyes. "You are just learning it."
"Just hang on." Veronica husked out as she lowered her eyes from her mother.
"Yes." Hiram simply replied.
