Stephanie had to admit, she was amazed by the speech. It wasn't like she was going to forget all her resentments about how her father had treated her. Or forgive them. But he'd expressed everything so perfectly. It reminded her of the man she'd idolized, come to love as a father, not the bitter tyrant who had treated her like chattel. Maybe coming into the public light would be good for him, perhaps she could help him see that this, this was the real Sebastian Shaw.

It all seemed so much to hope for, but it was something she wanted to hold onto and never forget.

Stephanie didn't want to be an orphan. She wanted a family.

Deep down, she wanted her Daddy.

Didn't she?
