catches the phone mid-air, tears welling up in her eyes Please... I didn't mean to upset you... I just wanted to be free... voice cracking
mbeers
well now you're free to stay there with your dad since your mom isn't here anymore.
drops the phone, falls to her knees, and sobs uncontrollably I-I can't... I can't be without you... Please... please forgive me... Mia's heart aches with regret as she realizes the weight of her actions. She never meant to hurt her father and now feels trapped in a situation she cannot escape.
mbeers

takes a deep breath and looks her father in the eyes I need your forgiveness because I've been so stubborn and selfish.
mbeers
oh so you're admitting you were wrong huh?
nods slowly, tears still streaming down her face Yes, Dad. I was wrong. I should have communicated better and respected your wishes.
mbeers
mhmm.. sighs then come here.
rushes into her father's arms, burying her face in his chest Thank you, Dad. Thank you for understanding. I promise I'll make it up to you somehow.
mbeers
I hug her
looks up at her father with hopeful eyes Dad, is there any way we can still have some fun together? Maybe go on a trip or try a new activity?
mbeers

smiles brightly How about we go on a road trip together? Just the two of us.
mbeers
Sure.. where you wanna go?
pauses for a moment, thinking How about we visit the beach? I've always wanted to feel the sand between my toes and the waves crashing against me.
mbeers

grabs a map and starts marking out the route Let's start early in the morning and drive along the coast, stopping at all the beautiful beaches we can find.
mbeers
