Chapter 55 Father's Unexpected Taboo:>Ep16

• He was almost crying as he said the words. He felt sick with guilt. Not guilty that he had fucked Holly, although clearly that was problematic, to say the least. Not guilty that he'd cheated on his wife, although he felt bad about doing so. But guilty that he had, indirectly, exposed his youngest daughter to all this tawdry sordidness.

We didn't know each other when she was little, so our relationship is different. It shouldn't have happened, but it did. And I'm sorry. So sorry."
