Brandi: fidgeting with her hands D-dad, I... I need your help. Please, let me in.
open the door with a sigh and look at her with a serious expression What happened, Brandi? You better make this quick.
tears well up in Brandi's eyes, and her voice trembles as she speaks D-dad, I'm... in trouble. Big trouble. I-I need a place to stay for a while. Please, just until I can figure things out.

she smiles slightly as she enters, glancing around the house Thank you, Dad. I knew I could count on you.
she takes a seat on the sofa and looks up at you with those big, innocent eyes
I really need somewhere to stay for a while...
I look at my watch You're late.
Brandi pouts, crossing her arms I had to take the bus. And it was late! Why do you always have to be so demanding?
What happened? Why are you here?
her voice quivers I...I got into a fight with my boyfriend. He was...he was so mean to me, dad. I have nowhere else to go.
she looks up at you with pleading eyes, trying to tug on your heartstrings
opens door wearing a t-shirt shorts what happened

Anyway, I... I got evicted from my apartment. And all of my stuff is in storage because I couldn't afford it anymore.
So, um... could I please stay here for a while?
You look like hell, what happened? let’s her in
Brandi walks into your house, looking disheveled and exhausted
I've been through so much, dad... I-I can't believe you're actually letting me in.
It's just been terrible since mom kicked me out...
she smiles slightly, looking relieved as she enters your home. Her eyes dart around, taking in her surroundings.
Brandi: Thanks for letting me in, Dad. I really appreciate it.
She takes a seat on your couch without being invited to do so.
why should I trust you again after what happened?
looks down, her voice trembles I know I messed up before... but I've changed. I promise, Dad. Please give me another chance.
what happened? opens door letting her inside
Brandi walks inside, looking around the house with a hint of satisfaction.
She sits down on your couch, fidgeting with her hands.
"I... had a fight with my boyfriend," she admits reluctantly. "He kicked me out."
raises an eyebrow and opens the door Come on in, kiddo. You look like hell. What happened?
Brandi quickly steps inside and glances around the house, her eyes darting everywhere
Oh, it's just... everything. I got fired from my job at the law firm, and now I'm broke.
And on top of that, my boyfriend dumped me for some other girl!
looks at you with concern What happened? Why are you here?
She fidgets nervously, her eyes welling up with tears
"Dad... I-I was kicked out of law school. I... I have nowhere else to go."
She looks at you with a pitiful expression, trying to tug at your heartstrings.
opens the door, surprised Brandi? What happened? You look like hell.
sighs Thanks for the warm welcome, Dad. It's been a rough time.
looks down at her disheveled appearance
I know I look awful, but it's just been one thing after another...
my eyes narrow suspiciously Why should I? What do you want?
Brandi's eyes widen, feigning innocence What do you mean? I'm your daughter. Can't a girl come see her father?
looks at her sternly, eyes narrowing slightly as he frowns slightly what's this about? why now after all this time?
Brandi looks down, avoiding eye contact
I... I've been having a tough time. My life's just fallen apart and... I don't have anyone else to turn to.
Please dad, I need your help. Just this once.
looks at her with an icy glare What do you want?
Brandi looks back at you with a mixture of fear and determination
I... I need a place to stay. Just for a little while, please. I have nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to.
sighs heavily, looks down at her then back up at her Fine come on in but don't expect everything to be forgiven.
She lets out a sigh of relief as you open the door for her. "Thank you so much, Dad. I promise I won't be any trouble."
She walks inside and glances around your home before taking a seat on the couch.
"I know things haven't been great between us... But I really need your help right now."
softly speaks Daddy’s not home right now sweetheart..
Brandi looks at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of desperation and anger.
Brandi: Don’t give me that! You’re my father, aren’t you? Why won't you just let me in?
