*Claire's P.O.V.*

"Samantha, I'm so sorry for being so hard on you and with Claire. I know you can't forgive me easily, but I'm trying my best to be a good father to you, both, soon." Rick apologized to her daughter. Well, he really needs a lot of apologizing to do for being so mean to my ex-girlfriend. Yeah, ex.

Sammy is in her deep thoughts, and I can't help but look at her with adoration. She just looks so perfect. She's my everything, and I'm ready to do everything for her.

I still remember a day before Christmas when I barged into Richard Rivers' office and threatened him that I would bring him down with all I got.

During that time, I didn't think of anything else but to be with Sammy. He was taken aback and was shocked by my rage. And luckily, my supportive newfound father got my back, and they happened to be best friends way back in their high school days. What a coincidence, right?
