“Can you give us some space please?!” Shimmer said, shooting a glare at the old man before turning back to Sav. “Yes, it will Sav, I promise! I swear!” She said, gently moving a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “Can you tell me what happened?” She asked softly.
“‘Scuse me for tryin’ to help, Sunburn!” He sat down in his chair and grumbled. “Law says she’s my daughter anyway! Goddamn…”
“I-I-I– N-N-Nero– I-I– messed up, messed up bad– I-I-I..”
“I-I-I was honest, b-b-but I was stupid, a-a-and– and– and, and– c-can’t– talk– can’t– stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid–!!”
“Hey, hey, look at me, Sav…” she said, adjusting her in her arms so that she was still holding the girl, but also to where they were facing eye to eye. “Everything will be ok. Just take it slow, and if you can start from the beginning, do that. I promise, I’m not gonna get get made or yell or anything, no matter what it is, ok?” Shimmer said.
