Eric sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm russian-cuban and he decided he had right to say who was good enough for his daughter." He took a deep breath and leant back against the chair. "He put me in hospital and Maxine put him in jail"
Lilly went wide eyed. "Well I wish I could say that comes as a suprise. But our daddy has always hated anyone who wasn't all the same as he is. And if Maxine put it him in jail its for the best really." Lilly stopped. "Whoa, wait a minute I thought Maxie was just a DNA...person. I thought cops put people away." said Lilly confused. She had never had any interest in law inforcement what's so ever.
Valera walked into the kitchen but Eric's back was turned to her and she leaned against the door frame.
Valera smiled and walked over to him and wrapped his arms around him.
Lilly nodded, not that Eric could see. "Well that's great. I'm sure somewhere deep down inside mom and daddy their proud." she tried to say in a convincing tone. Apart of her was angry with her sister. Everything was always about her. Valera's bruise. Her scar. Here college money. Lilly shook her head. "Well when Maxie wakes up have her give me a call."
Eric instinctivly wrapped his arms around her waist and leant back against the chair as Valera leant back against him in return. He rested his chin on her shoulder and listened as she spoke.
