To bring his smile back, if only for a moment. Because a smile on Papa's face was like a ray of sunshine mid-storm, and she lived for it.
Of course, his smile that was brought on his own was good. His next words, less so.
Her nose wrinkled, and she visibly shuddered at that. "Why. Why would you even say that? Papa, that's low, even for you." Gods, why? That was just horrible. "'Scuse me. I need to go puke in a goddamn corner now. Or maybe on Julien's stupid, shiny fucking shoes. Ugh."
Nose still scrunched, she looked up at him. "Coulda ended up with you. That'd fuck everyone up, you included." Yes, it was gross and weird to think about. Sure, David was attractive, but he was also her father. But the point was, she could say gross and weird things, too.
