"Please don't cry, father. If you cry then I'll cry and I'd hate it if we both cried. We should be happy! It's Father's Day....We should be celebrating....Instead I've just gone and made you so sad and upset." She nuzzled his chest.
-
"I'm sorry Traci..." More tears flowed. "I just... I... I..." He lost it.
-
"Father, you may as well let it all out. I'm here for you. I always am as your daughter." She kept a tight grip on him and let him cry.
-
He burried his face in her shoulder and cried harder than he ever had before, his heart breaking beyond anything he'd ever felt.
-
"We'll be together soon. We just....We just have to work on it! We'll get this family back together in no time! You could probably win back mom in a day!" She couldn't help speaking.
-
"... Traci, I love you... But I don't think you're right." He trembled as he cried. "I lost her... I kriffing lost her."
-
"You won't with that attitude!" Traci let go and got up on the table, looking down at Cannon. "You've got to rise up! When have you ever given up?! NEVER! So why start now?! You lost her, but she wants you! NEEDS you! She cries herself to sleep! Are you going to let the love of your life be miserable or stand up like a man and win her back?!"
-
He looked up at her, taking a very shaky breath. "Traci... I... Thank you."
-
"You're welcome! Now, you can thank me by getting me a hot fudge sundae with nuts!" She giggled and realized she was standing up on something with her super short skirt. She immediately got back down to her seat, blushing extremely hard.
-
"After a speech like that? You deserve it." He wiped his eyes.
-
"Th-Thanks....I'm going to be more careful with this skirt from now on...." She smiled a little at him.
-
"Or just wear shorts under it..." He added.

"Y-Yeah, but mom sa-I mean, she doesn't even know I own this?" Her bad lying was showing again. "So....Where's that sundae?"
-
"I'll go get it." He stood and went to oder her a sundae.
