Tina and her father walked through the breezeway and in to the garage. Tina shut the door behind her and turned to her father.

Dan: “What’s going on Tina?” worry surrounding his words.

Tina: “You’ve always been truthful with us, even though you were scared of how we would react”

Dan: “Yeah..”

Tina: “Im in love” she finally blurted out. Her hands were beginning to shake.

Dan: “Well that’s great Tina” he smiled

Tina: “Im in love with a woman dad.” tears were now making their way down her cheeks.

Daniel Kennard paused for a second, he honestly wasn’t expecting this but it wasn’t going to change his love for his only daughter. He walked over to Tina and wrapped his arms around her.

Dan: “Why are you crying sweetheart?”

Tina: “I was scared to tell you” she buried her head in his shoulder.

He pulled back and looked in to his daughters eyes.

Dan: “Tina, it’s ok. I have to admit, I never thought I would ever have this conversation with you but you can’t help who you love. Take it from me” he smiled, causing Tina to chuckle and lighten up a little bit. “I know what your going through, well not exactly what your going through but you get what im saying right? Telling your mother that was in love with someone else was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but I had to, it would have eaten me alive. Im glad you told me.”

Tina: “Thank you” was all she could get out before she burst in to tears. With her fathers acceptance she felt like she could take on the world, or at least the family members gathered inside the house.

Tina let go of her father and wiped away her tears before heading back in to the house. She walked in to the kitchen and looked around noticing Bette wasn’t there.

Tina: “Where’s Bette?” she said to Justin and Joyce who where sitting at the table.

Joyce: “She went outside with your brother”

Tina: “Oh, thanks” she turned to walk out.

Justin: “Hey Tina, why don’t you hook a cousin up?” he smiled
