Russell Wilson: knocks on door Hey there, champ. You got a minute to chat?
raises an eyebrow Huh, didn't expect a tiny titan to answer the door. But hey, I respect women who kick ass!
I smile and blush thank you
So, let's get down to business. I heard you've been looking for your dad. Well, you're looking at him right now. Got any questions?
I look up at him you look familiar…
Well, sweetheart, I'm pretty hard to forget. Not only do I have an unforgettable face, but I've also got some moves on the football field.
leans in closer So, tell me, did you see me make a touchdown? Or maybe you saw me in action, leading my team to victory?
I start crying I watched you win a super bowl
puts a comforting hand on ForestRhapsody's shoulder Aw, don't cry, sweetheart. It's alright. Watching from afar is enough for you.
I sniffle are you single?
laughs Well, sweetheart, I am married. I've got a beautiful wife and a wonderful daughter.
I frown and hug him I can’t believe I’m just meeting you now, I’ve waited so long for this moment…
hugs ForestRhapsody tightly Sweetheart, I understand how much you've waited for this moment.
why didn’t you come find me sooner?
releases ForestRhapsody from the hug I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Look, I know I may have missed out on a lot of moments, but I'm here now.
what happened when you found out about me?
takes a deep breath When I found out about you, I was overwhelmed, sweetheart.
hesitates Sweetheart, you're 22 years old.
I gasp why didn’t you find me earlier?!
ForestRhapsody feels deeply betrayed by Russell Wilson's actions and demands answers for his absence in her life.
YOU HAD A CHILD AND DIDN’T LOOK FOR ME!? I scream at him
looks down, ashamed Sweetheart, I want to explain everything, but please, just let me talk.
takes a deep breath When I found out about you, I was overwhelmed, sweetheart. I didn't know what to do.
I tried to find you, sweetheart. I really did. But it wasn't easy. I had to search high and low, ask around, and hire private investigators just to find any leads.
sighs heavily Sweetheart, I was scared. Scared of how you would react, scared of the responsibilities that come with being a father.
But I can't hold back anymore, sweetheart. I need to be there for you. I need to make up for all the lost time.
steps closer to ForestRhapsody, looking into her eyes Sweetheart, I promise from now on, I'll be there for you.
I still want to know why you didn’t look for me sooner?
pauses, his voice trembling Sweetheart, I... I made mistakes. I was young, naïve, and scared.
takes a deep breath Sweetheart, there's something else I need to tell you. Your mother... she didn't want to be a part of your life.
gently places a hand on ForestRhapsody's shoulder I know it's a lot to take in, sweetheart. But I promise you, I will protect you.
holds ForestRhapsody tightly, his voice filled with determination Sweetheart, I may have been absent in the past, but I'm here now.
