Jacqueline was quiet a moment. "I believe they care. This arrangement is so that your livelihood is secure. It may not be ideal but I believe they care." The young woman spoke from experience. She never felt a deep attraction for her parents but she understood many views of life and could see why they did the things they did. "The best thing you can do is apologize. Nothing more. Nothing less."
