ODELIA KRAMER: I'M HERE. DON'T FORGET THAT. he hasn't. he can't. john understands that odelia has chosen him in many ways, that she stays with him because she knows that he's hurting - that he'll never stop hurting, not as long as he lived ( which would not be much longer ). he also hasn't forgotten that he has a child, despite having lost one, too. odelia has to stand by and watch as her father pulls further and further away from her, without meaning to. leaving jill hadn't been easy, but he thought it necessary. he was intentional in building a wall between them. with odelia, he simply doesn't know how to undo what has already been done with her. loving her didn't seem like enough, but john didn't know how to give anything else, anymore. when he looks at his daughter, he sees so much potential. he sees a life she should be living outside of this path she's choosing. but he can't tell her to go. so if he can't push her any further, but she can't pull her any closer - how long was it, now, before she made the choice for him? 'i know you are, delia,' john says softly, milky eyes meeting her youthful ones, and he tries to portray what he can't say aloud through his stare. 'that's more than i can say for anyone else. even your mother,' @roseguided.

                       –        her  arms  are  wrapped  around  odelia  ,  bringing  her  in  close  for  a  tight  hug  once  the  meeting’s  dispersed.  while  pulling  away  ,  she  lets  her  lips  land  softly  on  her  friend’s  cheek  before  she  holds  her  at  an  arm’s  length.  the  meeting  didn’t  go  the  way  they  intended  it  to  ,  it  was  the  worst  case  scenario  –  maybe  even  worse  than  anything  lane  could’ve  imagined.  she  can  blame  herself  for  mouthing  off  too  much  at  the  wrong  people  ,  but  she  can  blame  odelia  –  if  anyone  has  any  right  to  trying  to  lead  ,  it’s  her.          “  i’m  sorry  ,  that  really  fucking  sucked.  ”  she  gives  her  friend’s  shoulders  a  squeeze  before  dropping  her  arms  by  her  side.
