Will You Keep The Secret

"How could you do this to me? Believe that of me... Lie, and sneak." Apollo almost whined then, finally beginning to tremble slightly.

"I'm sorry," she whispered zipping up the bag and slinging it over her shoulder.

Apollo was silent then, just watching her.

"I fucked up. Royally and I'm sorry," she muttered trying to keep her voice from breaking or letting herself cry.

"I need space for awhile. Ripley is staying with me, it's not fair to have her moving out of her home."

"No, it's not but I need to see her. I have to still see her."

"And you will, but not for the rest of the day - maybe tomorrow evening. You can take her out for dinner."

"Mm'," she hummed walking from the room to lightly knock on their daughters bedroom door. She wouldn't leave without letting her know she would see her soon.

Apollo just sighed, leaning back against the kitchen counter and waiting.

Delaney spent a few minutes with Ripley trying to explain that she would see her tomorrow and that everything was okay.

Apollo glanced over his shoulder to look out the window then.

Delaney came downstairs and headed for the front door. "I'll call you tomorrow..."

"Whatever, bye."

Without another word she walked out.

Persephone was waiting outside of the car, pulling Delaney into a hug when she saw her. "You want to go back to see Dallas?"

Delaney hugged her quietly. "Yeah, yeah lets just go..."
