“No. I don’t.”
It was a lie, of course. He remembered what it was like to have someone know everything about him. Though he was happy, the emotional fallout was more than he could bear. Sonja and Selene were the only reasons why he kept on working and not succumb to an unhealthy dose of drugs, drink, and debauchery. Well, he might have recently overindulged in alcohol, but at least he wasn’t snorting cocaine at the same time.
The mention of Lucian had him frown, and he ran his gnarled fingers through his hair. He missed his daughter, but he was a prideful prick who refused to see reason. Maybe he should change; they were just a few months shy after the new year.
“But she is happy. Does she sound happy?”
Are you?
❛ do you truly want to know, or are you just asking because you feel obligated to?
❜ selene inquires softly, brows furrowing deeply. it’s rare that viktor shows such interest in his eldest daughter, especially after all that’s happening, and the young woman before him can’t help but to be a bit… worried.
❛ she sounds happy, yes. they’re talking about getting married.
❜ she won’t tell her father that sonja and lucian are actually expecting a child… it’s best sonja tell him herself.
shifting in place out of slight discomfort at knowing such information and not telling viktor, the brunette briefly averts her gaze and clears her throat. ❛ aren’t you late for a sound check or something? i don’t want to keep you. ❜ being the youngest definitely had its downsides, but at least she has music to share with her father… even though he sometimes seems more concerned about his other daughter.
